Brief Summary:
Modification of individual life style factors and fall prevention programmes may have significant positive effects on fracture incidence Also a large number of studies have demonstrated that pharmacological therapy of osteoporosis is effective however non-adherence to such therapy is a well recognized problem Few studies however have examined the effect of particular patient education programmes on knowledge and adherence to therapy
We hypothesised that a group-based multi-disciplinary education programme increases the total quality of treatment for patients with osteoporosis Patients knowledge on osteoporosis and adherence with pharmacological therapy ect
A total of 300 patients recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and started on specific treatment were randomised to either the school or control group In the school-group patients attended four classes with 8-12 participants during four weeks a total of 12 hours Teaching was performed by nurses physiotherapists dieticians and doctors and was based on dialogs and situated learning The classes covered facts on osteoporosis fractures and pain diet preventive measures balance and exercise and medical treatment Teaching was designed to increase empowerment The control group were offered the departments standard treatment including follow-up visits
All 300 patients received questionnaires regarding Knowledge about Osteoporosis Level of Adherence Quality of life Dietary calcium intake Level of physical activity Falls events registered every month by postcard at inclusion and after 3 12 and 24 month BMD was examined by DXA-scan at inclusion and after 12 and 24 month The last patient will answer the questionnaires first of May 2007
