Clinical Trial Summary

Osteoporosis is a growing global concern, particularly as the population of middle-aged and elderly individuals continues to rise within communities. This demographic, being more susceptible to chronic diseases, poses a burden on healthcare systems. The objective of this study is to explore methods of educating middle-aged and elderly individuals about osteoporosis, aiming to raise awareness of the disease and promote informed decision-making regarding prevention and treatment options


Clinical Trial Description

This research will involve visiting all four Elderly Houses in Muratpasa, Antalya. After obtaining informed consent, participants will be asked to provide demographic information, including age, sex, and education levels, as well as relevant medical history, such as family history of osteoporosis. Additionally, participants will complete a validated questionnaire called the Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT). Those who express interest in further education will be enrolled in an osteoporosis education program, which will be scheduled accordingly. The education program will utilize slides prepared based on information from the International Osteoporosis Foundation website (http://www.osteoporosis.foundation) and the WHO health education booklet. Delivered by a physiatrist, the education session will be concise, lasting approximately 20 minutes, and will cover various topics, including the definition of osteoporosis, its causes, risks, complications, dietary options, and specific exercise recommendations. Following the education session, participants will once again complete the OKAT questionnaire to assess any changes in knowledge. They will also have the opportunity to have their questions addressed. One month later, participants will be contacted by phone for a follow-up interview, during which changes in their dietary habits, sun exposure, exercise routines, and other relevant factors will be discussed. Lastly, participants will complete the OKAT questionnaire for the third time. These measures will help evaluate the effectiveness of the osteoporosis education intervention and provide insights into any potential changes in participants' knowledge and behavior over time. ;
