چکیده

BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a degenerative bone disorder that disproportionately affects older women worldwide. Raising awareness regarding osteoporosis within this demographic is significant for health promotion. Initial evidence suggests that visualisations of illness and treatment can improve illness perceptions, increase treatment motivations and even promote health behaviours. We are yet to understand whether different visualisation mediums vary in their impact on perceptions and motivations. PURPOSE We investigated whether physical models or virtual animations had a greater impact on changing perceptions of osteoporosis and treatment motivation in an at-risk population of older women. METHODS A total of 128 women aged 50 and over were randomly assigned to view a brief presentation about osteoporosis using either 3-D printed bone models or electronic tablet animations. Illness perceptions, medication beliefs and motivations were measured at baseline and post-presentation. Mixed ANOVAs were used to identify significant changes over time between groups. RESULTS There were no significant interaction effects, revealing that neither medium had a greater impact on beliefs over time. Significant main effects of time revealed that from baseline to post-presentation, both mediums increased consequence beliefs, personal and treatment control, understanding of osteoporosis, motivations to take treatment if needed and medication necessity beliefs. Timeline beliefs and medication concerns decreased over time for both groups. CONCLUSIONS Both 3-D models and animations of osteoporosis are equally effective in changing beliefs and treatment motivation in an at-risk population. Visualisation devices are brief, cost-effective, have high acceptability and have considerable clinical applicability to promote awareness and prevention.

Effectiveness Of Continuous Versus Pulsed Short-Wave Diathermy In The Management Of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomised Pilot Study

Background: Short-wave diathermy (SWD) is an electrotherapeutic modality used in the conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA).  Electromagnetic radiation delivered in continuous (cSWD) or pulse (pSWD) mode provides a deep heating effect on tissues.  There is no consensus on outcomes of treatment with cSWD versus pSWD in KOA. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of cSWD ve...
