Abstract
BackgroundIt is crystal clear how important healthcare providers are well-aware of reasonable knowledge on osteoporosis, because they are at the forefront of such management. However, no study has been yet assessed in the knowledge on osteoporosis among healthcare providers particularly in nurse. Therefore, we evaluated the knowledge on osteoporosis of nurses.MethodsIn April 2017, 67 nurses were evaluated using a modified Facts on Osteoporosis Quiz (FOOQ).ResultsAlthough nurses grasped some points of osteoporosis, their knowledge was insufficient concerning effects of weight, physical exercise and calcium intake during adolescence.ConclusionsThe level of knowledge on osteoporosis was evaluated in nurses, and the effect of weight, physical exercise, and calcium intake during adolescence should be focused in an educational program on osteoporosis for nurses.
