Poor quality of life, fractures and disability are the consequences of preventable osteoporosis.
The aims of this study were to validate and assess Osteoporosis Self-efficacy Scale (OSES-A) Arabic version among Iraqi general population.
A cross-sectional study with a random cluster sampling method from the community was used. Forward-backward-forward translation method was used to translate the questionnaire from English to Arabic. Beside OSES-A, Osteoporosis Knowledge Tool (OKT) and Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) Arabic versions were used to assess osteoporosis preventive behaviours.
The results showed good face validity and reliability. The construct validity showed two factors which explain 80.86% of the variance. In addition, the result showed low self-efficacy score (658.43±222.014) with 83.33% were found to have low OSES-A level. There were significant associations between age, gender, and self-reported osteoporosis with OSES-A levels. In addition, there were significant differences between age, gender, marital status, family history of osteoporosis, self-reported osteoporosis and osteoporosis diagnosis or screening in relation to total OSES-A scores. Moreover, there were positive correlations between the OSES-A total score with total knowledge and health belief. Multivariate analysis revealed that OKT levels, OHBS levels, age and gender were predictors for OSES-A levels.
This study showed good cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of OSES-A tool and could be used in any osteoprotective educational program.
生活质量差、骨折和残疾是可预防的骨质疏松症的后果。
本研究的目的是在伊拉克普通人群中验证和评估骨质疏松症自我效能量表（OSES-A）阿拉伯语版本。
采用社区随机整群抽样方法进行横断面研究。采用前后-前后翻译法将问卷从英语翻译成阿拉伯语。除了OSES-A，还使用了骨质疏松症知识工具（OKT）和骨质疏松症健康信念量表（OHBS）阿拉伯语版本来评估骨质疏松症预防行为。
结果显示出良好的表面效度和信度。结构效度显示两个因素，解释了80.86%的方差。此外，结果显示自我效能得分较低（658.43±222.014），83.33%的人OSES-A水平较低。年龄、性别和自我报告的骨质疏松症与OSES-A水平之间存在显著关联。此外，在年龄、性别、婚姻状况、骨质疏松症家族史、自我报告的骨质疏松症以及骨质疏松症诊断或筛查与OSES-A总分之间存在显著差异。此外，OSES-A总分与总知识和健康信念之间存在正相关。多变量分析显示，OKT水平、OHBS水平、年龄和性别是OSES-A水平的预测因素。
本研究显示了OSES-A工具良好的文化适应性和心理测量特性，可用于任何骨质疏松症预防教育项目。
