Abstract: Osteoporosis is a serious health problem worldwide and most commonly affects postmenopausal women (World Health Organization, 1994). Of the variety of complications associated with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, osteoporotic fracture is the most prevalent and serious one. It affects their quality of life and puts heavy burden on the healthcare system in Hong Kong. Since osteoporosis exercise program can help to reduce bone loss, it seems to be an effective strategy to prevent and manage osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence-based osteoporosis exercise education program for postmenopausal women, based on the best available evidence, with an aim of helping them to prevent and manage osteoporosis through the prevention and reduction of bone loss and its related fractures. A search of literature from four databases, including Pubmed (1997 to August 2011), CINAHL Plus (1937 to August 2011), Cochrane Library (1996 to Issue 8 of 2011) and EMBASE Classic + EMBASE (1947 to August 2011), was done to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The methodology checklist for RCTs developed by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN, 2008) was used to evaluate the quality of the selected studies. A total of nine studies met the inclusion criteria and did not violate the exclusion criteria. The findings of these studies showed that exercise intervention or program significantly reduced postmenopausal women's likelihood of having fracture and also improved their bone mass density slightly. Among the reviewed studies, programs were most commonly implemented within a 12-month period and two 60-minute supervised exercise sessions were delivered per week. The potential of implementing the proposed program, based on the evidence from the literature review, to local practice was assessed. Based on the assessment, the proposed program is necessary and beneficial for postmenopausal women. An evidence-based osteoporosis exercise education program is developed based on the best available evidence. The SIGN grading system was utilized to provide grades for the recommendations in the guideline. An effective and adequate communication with potential stakeholders to gain their support and cooperation for the proposed program is essential. In addition, a tailor-made pilot test is also crucial for ensuring the successful implementation of the proposed program. The pilot study will be conducted in a local practice and the targeted participants are 124 postmenopausal women. Data analysis will be done by the paired t-test. The proposed evidence-based osteoporosis exercise education program will be considered as effective if (1) there is a reduction of bone loss and an increase in physical activity level in postmenopausal women, and (2) there is an increase of confidence and self-perceived skill on the prevention of management of osteoporosis in nurses.

Book excerpt: Background: Although 27% of women will be premenopausal at diagnosis; treatment for BC may cause menopause/menopausal symptoms in up to 80% of these women. Both short term symptoms and long term health problems such as osteoporosis and heart disease are associated with early menopause (EM). Menopausal symptoms have a major negative impact on quality of life, sexual dysfunction and changes in body image and self-esteem in BC women. Overseas studies indicate that 2/3 of postmenopausal women with BC report hot flushes and more severe menopausal symptoms are experienced by women with BC, however there is little Australian data. Women with BC and menopause benefit from partner support yet little is known about partners experience/perception of menopause. BC women consult multiple clinicians including gynaecologists, endocrinologists, oncologists, breast surgeons and general practitioners (GPs); however, there is a lack of evidence based guidelines and management practices of these clinician groups regarding menopause. Culture also influences menopause symptoms/perception with limited information and understanding of the menopausal experience of women in a developing country (Laos) compared to a Western developed country (Australia).Aims:This work aimed to: (1) investigate the perception/experience of menopause, diagnosis and therapies, information provided and health behaviours, in younger women with BC, (2) investigate menopausal symptoms, psychological function, sexual function and body image and the effect of different BC treatments on these parameters, (3) describe the partners' perception, understanding and personal experience of menopause, and menopausal therapy in women with BC, (4) determine current clinical understanding and management of menopause by Australian clinicians (gynaecologists, endocrinologists, oncologists, breast surgeons and GPs), (5) examine culture influences on women's understanding and management of menopausal symptoms as assessed in a group of Australian and Laotian women, and (6) to inform a translation program providing information to consumers and health professionals.Methods: Participants: Participants for study 1 and 2 included 114 menopausal/perimenopausal women aged 40-51 years with non-metastatic BC. Participants for study 3 included 50 partners of BC women. Participants for study 4 included 176 clinicians: 35 gynaecologists, 35 endocrinologists, 36 oncologists, 35 breast surgeons and 35 GPs. Participants for study 5 included 108 women (56 Australian and 52 Laotian; aged 40-65 years) attending gynaecological outpatient clinics in Australia and Laos. Procedure: Studies 1, 2 and 3 utilised both validated and internally developed questionnaires. Women with BC and their partners were recruited from the general community, from hospital outpatient clinics, from community support groups and via the Jean Hailes for Women Health (JH) website. A questionnaire including an index case was used in study 4 to assess the understanding and management of EM by Australian clinicians. Clinicians were randomly selected from Medicare Australia, referring doctors to menopause/oncology clinics and the general medical community via the JH website. The same questionnaire in English and Lao was completed by women in study 5.Analysis: Analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 17.0). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, student t-test, Mann-Whitney U were used where appropriate. Results: Study 1: Most BC women were satisfied with the manner in which they were informed of both BC (69%) and menopause (59%) diagnosis. Although 80% of women were given BC information, only 54% were given menopause information at diagnosis. Weight gain (68%) and osteoporosis (67%) were the most common problems/fears regarding menopause; however, only 56% reported having relevant screening investigations including blood sugar and bone density tests. Study 2: Commonest reported menopausal symptoms in BC women were tiredness/lacking energy, loss of libido and hot flushes. Anxiety/depression scores were high overall. Women perceived exercise (68%) and improving lifestyle (61%) as most effective in alleviating symptoms of menopause. Most women reported that they did not understand the risks/benefits of "bioidentical hormones" (79%) and herbal therapies (78%); while 58% perceived hormone replacement therapies as associated with an increased risk of BC. Psychological symptoms, vasomotor symptoms and sexual dysfunction scores were significantly higher in BC women with ovariectomy compared to BC women without ovariectomy (p

Download or read book Osteoporosis Knowledge Beliefs and Bone Promotion Behaviors of Postmenopausal African American AA Women written by Grace Olayinka Akinpetide and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoporosis remains a major health issue worldwide. Although it has been associated with Caucasian women in the United States, attention is being drawn to other ethnicities. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) are concerned that people perceive osteoporosis to only affect Caucasian women, given that African-American (AA) women have higher bone mineral density and lower postmenopausal bone loss. This perception ignores observations that AA women are at significant risk of developing osteoporosis. As such, there is considerable delay in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis among AA women. This cross-sectional study's design primary purpose was to describe postmenopausal AA women's knowledge, beliefs and behaviors concerning osteoporosis. Secondary to this purpose, was exploration of correlations between the Health Belief Model (HBM) theoretical constructs with osteoporosis preventive behavior, especially calcium intake and physical exercise. One hundred and fifty three postmenopausal AA women completed a questionnaire containing 1) the Osteoporosis Knowledge Test (OKT), 2) the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS), 3) the Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Scale (OSES), 4) the Osteoporosis Attitude Knowledge Test (OAKT) and 5) the Osteoporosis Preventing Behaviors Survey (OPBS). The data were analyzed in SPSS version 21.0. The results of the study varied. Women in the study had greater knowledge about osteoporosis overall; they had less knowledge about preventing osteoporosis with exercise. They regularly used diet to prevent osteoporosis and reported recurrent physical activity. Participants had a general knowledge of osteoporosis but they experienced a moderate number of barriers that limited exercise. Few barriers for calcium intake were reported. Correlational analysis between age, number of months post-menopause, and education and the dependent variables (osteoporosis knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and barriers to engaging in bone health promotion activities) revealed significant correlations. Age and number of years post menopause were significantly negatively correlated with use of physical activity to prevent osteoporosis. As women aged, they engaged in less osteoporosis prevention using exercise and as the number of months post menopause increased, the exercise behaviors associated with osteoporosis prevention decreased. This is an indication that women at this age have to be educated on the importance of exercising at this stage in their life.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Download or read book Fragility Fracture Nursing written by Karen Hertz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book aims to provide a comprehensive but practical overview of the knowledge required for the assessment and management of the older adult with or at risk of fragility fracture. It considers this from the perspectives of all of the settings in which this group of patients receive nursing care. Globally, a fragility fracture is estimated to occur every 3 seconds. This amounts to 25 000 fractures per day or 9 million per year. The financial costs are reported to be: 32 billion EUR per year in Europe and 20 billon USD in the United States. As the population of China ages, the cost of hip fracture care there is likely to reach 1.25 billion USD by 2020 and 265 billion by 2050 (International Osteoporosis Foundation 2016). Consequently, the need for nursing for patients with fragility fracture across the world is immense. Fragility fracture is one of the foremost challenges for health care providers, and the impact of each one of those expected 9 million hip fractures is significant pain, disability, reduced quality of life, loss of independence and decreased life expectancy. There is a need for coordinated, multi-disciplinary models of care for secondary fracture prevention based on the increasing evidence that such models make a difference. There is also a need to promote and facilitate high quality, evidence-based effective care to those who suffer a fragility fracture with a focus on the best outcomes for recovery, rehabilitation and secondary prevention of further fracture. The care community has to understand better the experience of fragility fracture from the perspective of the patient so that direct improvements in care can be based on the perspectives of the users. This book supports these needs by providing a comprehensive approach to nursing practice in fragility fracture care.

Download or read book Pocket Reference to Osteoporosis written by Serge Livio Ferrari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-28 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book responds to the daily needs of all clinicians treating patients with osteoporosis and provides a key reference guide for any challenges that arise in clinical practice. This book also covers the genetics of the disease, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and current and upcoming treatment recommendations in accordance with the latest international guidelines. Osteoporosis is a disease in which the density and quality of bone are greatly reduced, and as bones become more porous and fragile the risk of fracture increases greatly. It is one of the most common metabolic bone diseases globally with one in three women and one in five men at risk of an osteoporotic fracture, and can result in devastating physical, psychosocial, and economic consequences. However, in spite of this osteoporosis can often be overlooked and undertreated, thus there is a real need to raise awareness of this disease.
