To assess osteoporosis-related knowledge in an adult online population and evaluate the immediate and short-term effects of a guideline-based educational video, addressing significant knowledge gaps.
Key Findings:
The educational video significantly improved osteoporosis-related knowledge in the intervention group compared to the control group, with a p-value of <0.05.
Knowledge retention was assessed immediately after the intervention and again after 7 days, showing sustained improvement with a retention rate of 75%.
Interpretation:
The study indicates that a single educational video can effectively enhance knowledge about osteoporosis, which may contribute to better treatment adherence and improved patient outcomes.
Limitations:
The study's reliance on self-reported knowledge may introduce bias, and the potential for social desirability bias should be acknowledged.
Long-term retention and behavioral changes were not assessed beyond the 7-day follow-up, indicating a need for future studies.
Conclusion:
A single educational video intervention is a scalable and effective method to improve osteoporosis knowledge, potentially aiding in bridging the treatment gap and enhancing patient care.
