Introduction: Osteoporosis affects one in three women and one in five men over the age of 50. We do not have an osteoporosis-related knowledge questionnaire over the age of 50, which is considered strong evidence in the prevention and treatment of the disease., Objective: Aim of the study was to validate the Hungarian form of the Osteoporosis Questionnaire in Hungarian-speaking women over the age of 50., Method: The questionnaire was validated into Hungarian according to Beaton's six-step method. Our sample consisted of 326 women. During our statistical analysis, we calculated descriptive statistics, difference tests, Cronbach's alpha value, and Spearman's correlation coefficient for test-retest and for external validity. Quality of life and physical activity were examined to support the external validity., Results: Our sample (63.08 ± 9.36 years) scored 8.76 ± 6.94 points on the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha value was 0.89. For the test-retest, Spearman's correlation coefficient showed a value of p≥0.25 for all the questions. Significant correlations were found between knowledge and age (R = 0.37; p<0.001) and years of using hormone replacement therapy (R = 0.34; p = 0.02). The correlation analysis showed significant (p<0.001) correlation between knowledge and all sub-dimensions of quality of life. Significant correlation was found between transport movement (p<0.001; R = 0.21), intensive (p<0.001; R = 0.354), moderate recreational activity (p<0.001; R = 0.348), total moderate (p = 0.041; R = 0.125) total intense movements (p = 0.018; R = 0.145) and knowledge., Discussion: The Hungarian questionnaire was validated in accordance with international practice., Conclusion: The Hungarian version of the Osteoporosis Questionnaire is a reliable, adaptable questionnaire for measuring the osteoporosis-related knowledge of the Hungarian female population over 50.

In the XXI century the organization expects knowledge, competencies and abilities which are not easy to reach in the formal educational environment. Increasingly, informally obtained knowledge is becoming appreciated in adult employees. For the employers it is only then sensible to invest into education if as a result the production of the employee will increase or they will be able to create new things. This essay attempts to direct the attention on the fact that there is another approach to the beneficial use of knowledge: knowledge is the condition of any further education, moreover education of various segments of study fields has common parts, as well as the avoidance of repetition or the approval of previous knowledge can become an economically integral part of the education. In many EU countries it is not unusual that the knowledge obtained from various sources and of different educational background is often approved , and acknowledged in higher education, thus a new model of the interference of practical and theoretical knowledge is applied. In Hungary the acceptance of the former knowledge has been in practice at workplaces, but in the official educational organisations this acknowledgement is not traceable, although it would mean individual, social and economical benefits.

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A nemzetközi szakirodalomban számos betegséget illetően elérhető betegségspecifikus tudást és attitűdöt mérő kérdőív. Magyarországon az osteoporosis témakörében validált kérdőívek tárháza meglehetősen hiányos. Célkitűzés: Célunk volt a csontritkulás-specifikus magatartás és attitűd vizsgálatára alkalmas Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS-) kérdőív magyar nyelvre történő validációja, melynek segítségével mérhetővé válna a magyar anyanyelvű nők csontritkulással kapcsolatos attitűdje. Módszer: A kérdőív magyar nyelvre validálása a 2000-ben megfogalmazott hatlépcsős irányelv szerint történt. A külső validitás vizsgálatához az Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT-) kérdőívet használtuk. Mintánkat 600 fő alkotta; statisztikai számításaink során leíró statisztikát készítettünk, különbözőségi vizsgálatokat végeztünk, a belső konzisztencia vizsgálatára Cronbach-alfa-értéket számítottunk, a konvergens validitás és a teszt-reteszt mérések vizsgálatához Spearman-féle korrelációs koefficienst számítottunk. A kérdőív belső struktúrájának vizsgálatához faktorelemzést végeztünk. Ennek megfelelően Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO)-tesztet és Bartlett-próbát számítottunk. Eredmények: Mintánk (37,7 ± 13,15 életév) az OHBS (126,28 ± 14,85 pont) és az OKAT (8,78 ± 3,1) tekintetében egyaránt alacsony pontszámot ért el. A teljes kérdőívre kivetített Cronbach-alfa-érték 0,802 volt. A faktorelemzés (KMO = 0,886; Bartlett-próba p<0,001) 7 faktort különített el, melyek megfeleltethetők az eredeti faktoroknak. A teszt-reteszt során a Spearman-féle korrelációs koefficiens 0,921 és 1,000 közötti értéket mutatott. Az OKAT- és az OHBS-dimenziók összevetésekor számos szignifikáns kapcsolatot találtunk. Megbeszélés: A vizsgálati eredmények megfelelnek az eredeti kérdőív szerinti, továbbá a más nyelvre történt validálás során kapott eredményeknek. Következtetés: Eredményeink alapján a magyar nyelvű OHBS csontritkulás-specifikus attitűdöt és magatartást vizsgáló kérdőívet megbízható és valid kérdőívnek tartjuk. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(37): 1494-1501., Introduction: In the international literature, several disease-specific questionnaires are available for many diseases. The opportunities of validated questionnaires are incomplete about osteoporosis in Hungarian language., Objective: The aim of the study was to validate the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) into Hungarian that would make it possible to measure the osteoporosis-related attitude for Hungarian-speaking women., Method: The questionnaire was validated into Hungarian according to the six-step guideline outlined in 2000. The Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT) questionnaire was used to examine external validity. Our sample consisted of 600 women. We performed descriptive statistics; Cronbach's alpha value was calculated for internal consistency, we calculated Spearman's correlation coefficient to examine external validity. We carried out factor analysis (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin [KMO] test, Bartlett test) to examine whether the new questionnaire is suitable for measurements in the given language the same way as the original questionnaire., Results: Our sample (37.7 ± 13.15 years of age) achieved low score for both OHBS (126.28 ± 14.85) and OKAT (8.78 ± 3.1). The Cronbach's alpha value was 0.802. Factor analysis (KMO = 0.886; Bartlett test p<0.001) identified 7 factors that can be similar to the original factors. During the test-retest, the Spearman correlation coefficient showed a value between 0.921 and 1.000. When comparing the OKAT and OHBS dimensions we found several significant relationships., Discussion: The results of the study are similar to the results of the original questionnaire validation as well as to other OHBS validation studies., Conclusion: Based on the results, we consider that the Hungarian form of the OHBS is a reliable and valid questionnaire.
