摘要:
Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the knowledge levels, beliefs, and self-efficacies of men regarding osteoporosis according to the health belief model.Methods: Men aged 55 years and older were included in the study. After the descriptive characteristics of the participants were recorded, the administered to the participants face-to-face.Results: A total of 435 men with an average age of 67.3 +/- 0.4 years participated in the study. When the participants were categorized according to age subgroups, it was found that marital status (p = 0.002), economic status (p = 0.016), and education level (p < 0.001) differed with age. The results of the osteoporosis-specific measurement tools used in data collection also differed with age (p < 0.05). It was observed that men's levels of osteoporosis knowledge decreased with increasing age (p < 0.05). The lowest scores for the exercise benefits and health motivation subdimensions of the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale and the Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Scale were obtained from the subgroup that included the oldest participants (p < 0.05). The highest scores for the calcium barriers subdimension of the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale were obtained from younger participants (p = 0.036). The level of osteoporosis knowledge showed a low-to-moderate correlation with each question of the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (p < 0.05). Age, education, associating the role of physiotherapy with primary-secondary treatment approaches, and health beliefs were the factors that affected the osteoporosis knowledge levels of the participating men (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The knowledge of osteoporosis and preventive beliefs and behaviours of men need to be increased. Knowledge and perceptions of susceptibility to osteoporosis should be developed in men with appropriate education from an early age. We recommend that exercise and physiotherapy approaches should be utilized to a greater extent, especially for individuals in the at-risk age range.
