Abstract:
Objective To investigate the mastering of osteoporosis knowledge and the level of self-efficacy in patients treated with aromatase inhibitors and to provide references for further preventive interventions. Methods A total of seventy five patients with breast cancer treated with aromatase inhibitors were recruited from Zhejiang Cancer Hospital using convenience sampling method. They were investigated with osteoporosis knowledge test ( OKT ) and osteoporosis self-efficacy scale ( OSES ) . Results The total score of osteoporosis knowledge was 51. 90, in which the score of risk factors of osteoporosis, exercise and calcium intake were 55. 75,50. 67 and 47. 67, respectively. The correct rate of osteoporosis knowledge was statistically different in people with different educational level and approach of health education (P<0. 05). The total score of self-efficacy and factor scores of exercise and calcium intake were (59. 80 ± 19. 88),(60. 25 ± 21. 99),(59. 35 ± 17. 76)respectively. Conclusions It is suggested to strengthen osteoporosis related health education for patients with breast cancer, and to increase their health information and beliefs, and help them to formulate health behaviors to prevent osteoporosis.
