评估绝经后乳腺癌患者的骨质疏松症知识水平是制定和实施旨在减少该人群脆性骨折发生率的教育措施的关键一步。采用骨质疏松症知识问卷(FOOQ)对27例绝经后乳腺癌患者和31例健康绝经后妇女进行骨质疏松症知识水平测评。乳腺癌患者的FOQ平均得分为13分(65%)。这明显低于健康女性的平均得分15分(75%)(p<；0.01)。总体而言，两个亚组的骨质疏松症知识水平都被认为是不足的，特别是在潜在的预防行为领域。这项研究的结果表明，乳腺癌患者由于接受抗肿瘤治疗而患骨质疏松症的风险增加，作为其治疗的主要方面，传播骨质疏松症知识的专门策略可能会使他们受益。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Evaluating the level of osteoporosis knowledge in postmenopausal breast cancer patients is a key step towards the development and implementation of educational measures with the goal of reducing the incidence of fragility fractures in this population. The Facts on Osteoporosis Quiz (FOOQ) was used to assess the level of osteoporosis knowledge in 27 postmenopausal breast cancer patients and 31 healthy postmenopausal women. The mean score on the FOOQ for the breast cancer patients was 13 (65%). This was significantly lower (p < 0.01) than the mean score of 15 (75%) achieved by the healthy women. Overall, the level of osteoporosis knowledge was considered inadequate for both subgroups, particularly in the areas of potentially preventative behavior. The results of this study suggest that breast cancer patients, who are at an increased risk for the development of osteoporosis due to their antineoplastic therapy, may benefit from a specialized strategy for the communication of osteoporosis knowledge as a principle aspect of their treatment.
