To answer the questions: How important is osteoporosis education? What are the topics that must be included in osteoporosis education?
Nonexperimental descriptive.
225 questionnaires were distributed to Registered Nurses in acute, ambulatory, and long-term care; 139 (62%) responded.
Nurse experts in osteoporosis developed and refined a needs assessment questionnaire that was distributed by mail. The 5-page questionnaire included demographic items. Other items inquired about the respondent's perceived need for osteoporosis education for patients and nurses, and the respondent's knowledge of and need for education in 27 specific topics.
Respondents expressed strong interest in and need for an educational program on osteoporosis. They rated their (mean) knowledge of 22 of 27 specific topics as between "limited" and "adequate." Subjects delineated important core content to be included in the educational program. These subjects included risk factors, prevention, assessment, calcium intake, nutrition, menopause, pharmacotherapeutics, and fall prevention.
Subjects found their own knowledge of certain topics in osteoporosis as less than adequate. Subjects documented the need for osteoporosis education for patients and nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING EDUCATION: There is a need for continuing education offerings to inform nurses and patients about osteoporosis prevention, detection, and management.
回答以下问题：骨质疏松症教育有多重要？骨质疏松症教育必须涵盖哪些主题？
非实验性描述性研究。
向急症、门诊和长期护理领域的注册护士发放了225份问卷；139人（62%）做出了回应。
骨质疏松症领域的护士专家编制并完善了一份需求评估问卷，通过邮寄方式发放。这份5页的问卷包括人口统计学项目。其他项目询问了受访者对患者和护士骨质疏松症教育的感知需求，以及受访者对27个特定主题的教育知识和需求。
受访者对骨质疏松症教育项目表现出浓厚兴趣和需求。他们将27个特定主题中22个主题的（平均）知识水平评为“有限”至“足够”之间。受访者明确了教育项目应包含的重要核心内容。这些内容包括风险因素、预防、评估、钙摄入、营养、更年期、药物治疗和跌倒预防。
受访者发现自己对骨质疏松症某些主题的知识不足。受访者记录了对患者和护士进行骨质疏松症教育的必要性。对护理教育的启示：需要提供继续教育课程，让护士和患者了解骨质疏松症的预防、检测和管理。
