Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an osteoporosis educational intervention on knowledge, health beliefs, and self-efficacy in college-age Puerto Rican women. The Health Belief Model and Purnell Model formed the theoretical framework for the study. Three hypotheses were tested with a convenience, randomized sample of 51 experimental and 54 control subjects, ages 18-25. The findings support the hypotheses that educational intervention improved osteoporosis knowledge, health beliefs, but had no effect on self-efficacy. Results and directions for future research are discussed.

本研究的目的是确定骨质疏松症教育干预对波多黎各大学适龄女性的知识、健康信念和自我效能的影响。健康信念模型和普尔内尔模型构成了该研究的理论框架。对年龄在18 - 25岁的51名实验组和54名对照组受试者进行了便利随机抽样，对三个假设进行了检验。研究结果支持了以下假设：教育干预提高了骨质疏松症知识和健康信念，但对自我效能没有影响。文中讨论了研究结果以及未来研究的方向。
