The aim of this study was to explore baccalaureate nursing students' knowledge of osteoporosis for beginning practice in the community. A cross-sectional study design was used. Students were selected by convenience sampling (n = 85) from one University in Jordan in the final of 4 years. Students were asked to complete a 23-item-knowledge questionnaire based on two earlier published studies of osteoporosis. Results indicated poor level of knowledge of osteoporosis on all dimensions: prevention (11 items) 62.6%; SD 14.2; general (5 items) 59.5%; SD 20.6; and the pathophysiology (7 items) 39.6%; SD 15.6, and an overall mean grade of 54.9%; SD 10.3. This result provides information that graduating nursing students have limited knowledge to undertake the role of health promotion and disease prevention in the community.
本研究旨在探索护理学本科学生对于骨质疏松症的知识,以便在社区开展初期实践。采用横断面研究设计。通过便利抽样从约旦一所大学四年级的学生中选取了85名学生。要求学生根据两项早期发表的关于骨质疏松症的研究,完成一份包含23个项目的知识问卷。结果表明,学生在骨质疏松症各方面的知识水平均较差:预防(11项)62.6%;标准差14.2;一般知识(5项)59.5%;标准差20.6;病理生理学(7项)39.6%;标准差15.6,总体平均成绩为54.9%;标准差10.3。这一结果表明,即将毕业的护理专业学生在社区中开展健康促进和疾病预防工作的知识有限。
