Abstract
Objective: This study is aimed to define osteoporosis knowledge and health beliefs of women.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 1240 women between the ages 15 and 64 in Konyaaltı/Antalya/Türkiye. Osteoporosis Knowledge Test (OKT) and Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) were administered to women.
Results: The mean total score of OKT was 19.90±3.11, OHBS Susceptibility score 18.32±5.77, Seriousness score 20.45±5.27, Benefits of Exercise score 26.73±3.55, Benefits of Calcium Intake score 24.82±4.22, Barriers to Exercise score 12.77±5.15, Barriers to Calcium Intake score 12.14±4.53, Health Motivation score was found to be 23.95±3.49. When osteoporosis knowledge score was divided by the median value and evaluated as a risk criterion, the women who studied 5 years and less were 2.46 (1.84-3.27) times, who studied 6-8 years were 1.65 (1.18-2.29) times, whose caffeine consumption less than 200 mg/day were 1.43 (1.07-1.89) times, who was in menapouse were 1.37 (1.05-1.76) times riskier for osteoporosis knowledge to be lower than the median level in all women.
Conclusion: The level of osteoporosis knowledge and health beliefs of women living in Konyaaltı/Antalya were found to be higher than those determined in other countries and in our country. Informative events should be organized and primary health care workers should educate women of all ages, especially women with low education levels, about osteoporosis and preventive measures.

Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmada kadınların osteoporoz bilgisi ve sağlık inançlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma Konyaaltı / Antalya / Türkiye'de 15-64 yaş arası 1240 kadın ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kadınlara Osteoporoz Bilgi Testi (OKT) ve Osteoporoz Sağlık İnanç Ölçeği (OHBS) uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: OKT toplam puan ortalaması 19,90±3,11, OHBS Duyarlılık Algısı puanı 18,32±5,77, Ciddiyet Algısı puanı 20,45±5,27, Egzersiz Faydaları puanı 26,73±3,55, Kalsiyum Alınması Faydaları puanı 24,82±4,22, Egzersiz Engelleri puanı 12,77±5,15, Kalsiyum Alınması Engelleri puanı 12,14±4,53, Sağlık Motivasyon puanı 23,95±3,49 olarak bulunmuştur. Osteoporoz bilgi düzeyi medyan değerden bölünerek risk kriteri olarak değerlendirildiğinde 5 yıl ve daha az eğitim almış olan kadınların 2,46 (1,84-3,27) kat, 6-8 yıl eğitim almış kadınların 1,65 (1,18-2,29) kat, menopoza giren kadınların 1,37 (1,05-1,76) kat, günde 200 mg'dan az kafein tüketen kadınların 1,43 (1,07-1,89) kat daha yüksek oranda osteoporoz bilgi düzeyinin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde riskli grupta olduğu bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Konyaaltı / Antalya'da yaşayan kadınların osteoporoz bilgi ve sağlık inançları düzeyi diğer ülkelerde ve ülkemizde yapılmış olan araştırmalara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Bilgilendirici etkinlikler düzenlenmeli ve birinci basamak sağlık çalışanları her yaştan kadını özellikle düşük eğitim düzeyine sahip kadınları osteoporoz ve önleyici tedbirler hakkında eğitmelidir.
