Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to obtain baseline data on bone mass density for Native Hawaiian women and to better understand the socio-cultural context for assessing bone health and risk of osteoporosis for this underserved population.

Method: A sequential mixed-method design guided by Leininger's Culture Care Theory of Diversity and Universality consisted of two phases: (a) an initial exploratory focus group and (b) dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans and individual interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.

Results: Phase a (n = 12) suggested that Native Hawaiian women have limited knowledge of bone health, but recognize traditional and cultural ways of health. Phase b (n = 50) showed that Native Hawaiian women have healthy bones, according to the T-score results. The interviews suggested that perspectives of bone health are culturally anchored.

Discussion: Understanding cultural values and practices are vital for care. Preliminary recommendations for health professionals are included.

夏威夷农村夏威夷土著妇女骨骼健康的探索性研究。

引言：本研究的目的是获得夏威夷原住民妇女骨量密度的基线数据，并更好地了解评估这一服务不足人群骨骼健康和骨质疏松风险的社会文化背景。方法：以Leininger的多样性和普遍性文化关怀理论为指导的顺序混合方法设计包括两个阶段：（A）初步探索性焦点小组和（b）双能X射线吸收仪（DEXA）扫描和个体访谈。使用描述性统计和专题分析对数据进行分析。结果：a期（n=12）表明，夏威夷土著妇女对骨骼健康的了解有限，但认识到传统和文化的健康方式。根据T评分结果，b期（n=50）表明夏威夷原住民女性骨骼健康。采访表明，对骨骼健康的看法是基于文化的。讨论：了解文化价值观和实践对护理至关重要。其中包括对卫生专业人员的初步建议。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
