Abstract

Objective: The Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) was developed to assess health beliefs about osteoporosis. This questionnaire consists of 42 items divided into seven subscales including seriousness, susceptibility, health motivation, calcium intake, and exercise. The aim of this study was to validate the OHBS in Dutch.

Methods: Dutch-speaking individuals aged over 65 years, without cognitive problems, were included in the study. Translation of the OHBS into Dutch was conducted based on international guidelines for translating a validated questionnaire into another language. A subgroup of individuals repeated the questionnaire after a period of at least seven days.

Results: During the translation process, no significant issues were encountered. All translation discrepancies were discussed and resolved through consensus. The results demonstrate strong test-retest reliability (Spearman's rho 0.772, p‹0.001) and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.828). The mean duration to complete the questionnaire ranges between five and ten minutes.

Conclusions: The Dutch version of the OHBS is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring health beliefs regarding osteoporosis. More knowledge about these health beliefs is crucial for improving communication regarding osteoporosis and fracture prevention. Moreover, the instrument can be used to identify individuals who would benefit from educational interventions.

[老年人骨质疏松的健康信念：荷兰版骨质疏松健康信念量表的验证]。

目的：编制骨质疏松健康信念量表（OHBS），评价人们对骨质疏松的健康信念。问卷共42项，分为严重性、易感性、健康动机、钙摄入量、运动七个分量表。本研究的目的是验证荷兰语的OHBS。方法：65岁以上无认知问题的荷兰语个体被纳入研究。将OHBS翻译成荷兰语是根据将有效问卷翻译成另一种语言的国际准则进行的。一组人在至少7天后重复问卷调查。结果：在翻译过程中，没有遇到重大问题。所有的翻译差异都通过协商一致的方式进行讨论和解决。结果显示较强的重测信度（Spearman’s rho 0.772, p < 0.001）和内部一致性（Cronbach’s alpha 0.828）。完成问卷的平均时间在5到10分钟之间。结论：荷兰版OHBS是一种可靠有效的测量骨质疏松健康信念的工具。更多地了解这些健康信念对于改善骨质疏松和骨折预防方面的交流至关重要。此外，该工具可用于确定将从教育干预中受益的个人。
