“…Chinese women consider that they are more likely to suffer an osteoporosis-related complication or fracture than a heart attack or breast cancer [21]. This contrasts with prior findings in Caucasian women in whom psychosocial and cancer concerns dominate major health concerns [35].…”

“…This decision leads one to either stage 4, where one has decided not to act, or stage 5, where one has made the decision to act. Stage 6 finds the individual acting (e.g., discussing with her physician the best course of action, such as beginning treatment), and stage 7 is the maintenance of these actions for at least 6 months [20,21].…”

“…Mauck and colleagues utilized a stage of change model (Weinstein Precaution Adoption Process Model) to examine patients' decision to accept osteoporosis treatment after hip fracture [34]. The same theoretical framework was used to explore barriers to osteoporosis care from the perspective of female fragility fracture patients [35]. Gold and Silverman implemented a self-management osteoporosis program for post-menopausal women with osteoporosis (or osteoporosis risk) that incorporated elements of Social Cognitive Theory [36].…”

A review of patient-centred post-fracture interventions in the context of theories of health behaviour change

The purpose of this literature review is to determine whether and to what extent current post-fracture osteoporosis interventions utilize theories of health behaviour change and whether those that are theory-based are more successful in producing desired behaviour changes. Studies were identified by applying additional criteria to the final selection stage of a systematic review of non-surgical osteoporosis interventions in the orthopaedic environment. We identified 42 primary studies targeted at patients and improving post-fracture osteoporosis care. As well as describing the studies (in terms of design, population, interventions, outcomes), we focused on theoretical framework and elements of behaviour change models. The 42 studies included in this review utilized a variety of post-fracture interventions; however, none of them reported using an underlying theoretical base. Only three studies drew on what we felt to be elements of a theoretical framework. The lack of theoretically based studies points to a currently under-utilized area of behaviour change research that could be applied to post-fracture interventions in order to make them more effective. Despite an abundance of literature supporting theories of behaviour change, post-fracture osteoporosis interventions do not report utilizing these theories. Theories of behaviour change could be applied to post-fracture osteoporosis interventions to explain why patients initiate osteoporosis management. Future research should explore the application of theories of health behaviour change to post-fracture interventions.

“…4,9,[27][28][29][30][31] Previous protocols focused on osteoporosis in patients with fragility fractures have successfully improved treatment rates in these patients. 9,29,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38] Perhaps most importantly, these and other similar programs have demonstrated an opportunity to prevent future fractures. 39 National Osteoporosis Foundation guidelines 7 recommend antiresorptive treatment in patients who sustain a low-energy fracture, which if recognized as a fragility fracture defines osteoporosis as present.…”

Osteoporosis in Orthopaedic Trauma Patients: A Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol

Following a protocol for osteoporosis identification and initiation of treatment, almost one-third of patients were identified as being at high risk for osteoporosis in this orthopaedic trauma population. Specific components of the protocol included patient education and referral to the PCP, and nearly half of high-risk patients continued osteoporosis treatment at 12 months follow-up. Orthopaedic trauma surgeons can play a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in hospitalized patients and may be able to reduce the incidence of secondary fragility fractures.
