Abstract
Introduction: Osteoporosis represents a significant public health challenge for perimenopausal women, primarily due to hormonal changes, although awareness remains very low. This highlights the need for effective education interventions. Digital health education, especially those led by nurses, can enhance knowledge and practice through content that is specifically tailored and interactive.
Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of a nurse-led digital education program in enhancing osteoporosis prevention knowledge and practices among perimenopausal women.
Results: Using a quasi-experimental research design with a sample of 100 participants, the intervention led to significant improvements in the treatment group. Knowledge increased from 32.40% to 66.46%, and practices improved from 42.40% to 73.40%, compared to the control, which showed fewer changes.
Conclusion: The results support the use of digital education in community healthcare to address knowledge gaps on osteoporosis prevention. Future interventions should consider demographic factors to improve effectiveness.
