对骨质疏松症的良好理解和知识是预防措施成功和治疗依从性的先决条件。目的：评估接受抗吸收治疗的绝经后骨质疏松或骨量减少妇女对骨质疏松症的认识。十字架-一项横断面研究基于232名绝经后妇女的样本，这些妇女在绝经期通过骨密度检查诊断为骨质减少或骨质疏松症，Caism/Unicamp的门诊部。妇女的骨质疏松症的知识进行了评估，通过OPQ（骨质疏松症问卷），一个20个项目的调查问卷，骨质疏松症的一般信息，危险因素，后果和treatment.Results领域：妇女的平均年龄为61.6岁（+/- 8.2年），平均绝经时间为16.8年。通过OPQ获得的平均知识得分为3.78。正确答案的平均得分为9.8分，而错误答案的平均得分为6分，“不知道”答案的平均得分为4.1分。双变量分析显示，与更高的知识水平最密切相关的变量是：教育（p < 0.01）、阅读（p < 0.02）、社会经济地位（p < 0.03）、获得骨质疏松药物的方式（p < 0.02）和无合并症（p < 0.04）。在多元回归分析中，仍然与更好的知识的因素是较高的教育，较高的社会经济地位得分和没有合并症。结论：绝经后妇女诊断为骨质疏松症的知识是有限的。教育水平是知识的一个强有力的预测因素。(C)2011爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
A good understanding and knowledge of osteoporosis is a prerequisite for the success of preventive measures as well as treatment adherence.Objective: To assess knowledge about osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia undergoing antiresorptive treatment.Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was based on a sample of 232 postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis diagnosed by bone density studies and seen at the Menopause Outpatient Clinic at Caism/Unicamp. Women's knowledge of osteoporosis was assessed by means of the OPQ (Osteoporosis questionnaire), a 20-item questionnaire about osteoporosis in areas of general information, risk factors, consequences and treatment.Results: The average age of the women was 61.6 years (+/- 8.2 years) and the average time since menopause was 16.8 years. The average knowledge score obtained by the OPQ was 3.78. The average score for correct answers was 9.8 points, while the average score for incorrect answers was 6 points and 'don't know' answers was 4.1 points. Bivariate analysis showed the variables most closely associated with greater knowledge: education (p < 0.01), reading (p < 0.02), socioeconomic status (p < 0.03), means of acquiring osteoporosis medication (p < 0.02), and absence of comorbidities (p < 0.04). On multiple regression analysis, the factors which remained associated with better knowledge were higher education, higher socioeconomic status scores and absence of comorbidities.Conclusion: Knowledge of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women diagnosed with the disease was limited. Level of education was a strong predictor of knowledge. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
