Abstract
This predictive correlation design aimed to investigate factors predicting osteoporosis preventive behaviors among 98 older adults, who received services in outpatient clinics, Siriraj Hospital. Instruments included a personal information record form, osteoporosis knowledge questionnaire, osteoporosis health belief scale, osteoporosis self - efficacy scale and osteoporosis preventive behaviors. The reliability index was tested by Kuder-Richardson 20 of .81, and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were .91, .96, .97, and .88, respectively. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correction coefficient and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis.
The results showed that older adults had a moderate level of osteoporosis preventive behaviors (Mean = 69.19, SD = 9.77). Factors included osteoporosis knowledge (β = .176, p-value = .032), perceived susceptibility of osteoporosis (β = .380, p-value < .001), perceived severity of osteoporosis (β = .184, p-value = .038), and self - efficacy of preventing osteoporosis (β = .206, p-value = .013), were significant predictors of osteoporosis preventive behaviors among older adults (p-value < .001). Findings from this study can be utilized to develop the nursing guideline to promote osteoporosis preventive behaviors of older adults.
