Evaluation of Health Beliefs and Knowledge Status of Nursing Students Related to Osteoporosis

Abstract

Sınıf düzeyi ile öğrencilerin bilgi testi ve sağlık inanç toplam puanı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmıştır (p<0,001). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin osteoporoz bilgi ve sağlık inancı puanlarının orta düzeyde olduğu ve eğitim seviyesinden etkilendiği tespit edilmiştir. Osteoporoz bilgisi ve sağlık inancını arttırıcı, yaşam tarzı değişikliklerini içerecek eğitici yaklaşımlarda bulunulmalıdır.
