Effect of exercise intervention combined with peer education on self-efficacy and bone metabolism in the elderly patients with osteoporosis
Objective:To analyze the effect of exercise intervention combined with peer education on self-efficacy and bone metabolism in the elderly patients with osteoporosis(OP).Methods:From December 2018 to December 2021,108 OP patients were selected.They were randomly divided into a control group and a research group with 54 cases.The control group had 28 male cases(51.85%),and the average age was(67.23±2.26)years;the research group had 29 male cases(53.70%)and the average age was(67.47±2.26)years.The patients in the control group were treated with routine health education,and the research group adopted the exercise intervention combined with peer education based on the control group.The difference of self-efficacy and bone metabolism index between the two groups after 12 months of intervention were observed.Results:The scores of each factor of health belief score increased in the two groups after intervention,and the scores of susceptibility,exercise benefit,calcium uptake benefit,dyskinesia,calcium uptake disorder and health motivation in the research group were higher than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Calcium uptake efficacy score,motor efficacy score and overall performance score in the research group were higher than those in the control group after intervention,C-terminal peptide cross-linking of type I collagen(β-CTX),bone specific alkaline phosphatase(BALP)and osteocalcin level in the research group were lower than those in the control,and the difference was statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion:Exercise intervention combined with peer education in the elderly patients with OP can effectively improve the self-efficacy and promote the balance of bone metabolism index.
