Abstract

This descriptive study aimed at exploring the predictive power of body mass index knowledge of osteoporosis, pain, and location of the fracture on the physical function in osteoporotic fracture patients. Data were collected using the Mini-cognitive Assessment Form, Personal Information Questionnaire, Body Mass Index Record Form, The Facts on Osteoporosis Quiz (FOOQ), and Numerical Pain Scores, and Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire-Physical Function (OPAQ-PF). The sample group consisted of 103 subjects receiving follow-up for 6-18 months at the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Predictive power was analyzed using a multiple regression equation with a one-step method of selecting variables into equations (Enter Multiple Regression). The patients were mostly females 80.6% with an age average of 73.99 years (SD.= 9.28). The average physical function score was 62.98% (SD. = 27.45), the average BMI was 22.82 kg/m2 (SD. =3.74), the average knowledge of osteoporosis score was 10.05 (SD. = 3.88), the average pain score was 2.5 (SD. = 2.57), and the location of fracture (vertebral fracture 55.30% and hip fracture 44.70%) could together predict the physical function in osteoporotic fracture patients at 18.50% The results of the study revealed that osteoporotic fracture patients should have pain management and knowledge about osteoporosis to help them in recuperation for effective physical function.
