ABSTRACT
Osteoporosis results in an overall loss of bone mass and decreased bone density due to deficiency of protein matrix in which calcium is laid down the loss of bone mass in the body increases the risk of fracture with mild trauma. Women suffer from osteoporosis more than men. A quantitative approach was adopted to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme. The investigator selected a pre-experimental one group pre-test, and post-test design. Non-probability, consecutive sampling technique used to select 60 women diagnosed with osteoporosis attending orthopedic OPD at a selected hospital at Mangaluru. The knowledge level on the bone-strengthening exercises was assessed through a self-prepared semi-structured knowledge questionnaire using the interview method. A structured teaching programme was administered by the investigator and the booklet was provided. Post-test was conducted after a week using the same tool. The pre-test score of the present study showed that among 60 women, the majority of women 39(65%) had inadequate knowledge, 21(35%) had moderate knowledge and none of the women had adequate knowledge of bone-strengthening exercise. Whereas the post-test reveals that, out of 60 there were 36(60%) had adequate knowledge, 24 (40%) had moderate knowledge and none of the women had inadequate knowledge. The percentage score of enhancement was 38%. The effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on bone-strengthening exercise was evaluated by using paired ‘t-test and the obtained value was 28.67 which was greater than the table value at p<0.05 level of significance.Chi-square was used to check the association between post-test with selected socio-demographic variables. There was significant association was found with age in years and educational status. Hence, the structured teaching programme on bone strengthening exercises was found to be effective in improving the knowledge among women with osteoporosis.
