Abstract:

Objective

To conduct a questionnaire survey among patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia to understand the patient awareness for and prevention status of osteoporosis to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of this disease.

Methods

Patients with osteoporosis and bone mass reduction treated at the Bone Density Department of the Orthopaedics Center of the People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected as subjects. A self-made Chinese-Ukrainian bilingual questionnaire was used. The content of the questionnaire included: general information, awareness of osteoporosis, and treatment. The t-test or AONOVA was used to compare the differences of awareness scores in different characteristic groups, and analyze the congnitive level of osteoporosis.

Results

Osteoporosis awareness was not statistically significant among respondents of different ages (Z=1.498, P=0.119), but differed significantly among respondents of different genders, education levels, and income (t=1.069, P=0.023; Z=1.107, P=0.046; Z=2.804, P=0.040). Media such as newspapers and television were the main sources of obtaining the information on osteoporosis.

Conclusion

Most patients with osteoporosis have insufficient awareness and poor control status. We should increase the intensity and depth of prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, and provide different levels of health guidance based on the characteristics of different nationalities and according to their relevant knowledge and actual living conditions.

Key words: Osteoporosis, Awareness, High-risk groups, Prevention and treatment
