Tiivistelmä
It is estimated that over 200 million people worldwide have osteoporosis. The prevalence of osteoporosis is continuing to escalate with the increasingly elderly patients. The aim of this study was to conduct a literature review to find out nursing intervention to prevent osteoporosis.
The study was conducted as a literature review and the data was collected using two databases: CINAHL and PubMed. Results from six articles were analyzed using the inductive content analysis method, through which five main categories emerged; 1. different nursing interventions for osteoporosis patients 2. Patients’ educations 3. Appropriate nursing diagnoses 4. Patients’ self-care and 5. Physical exercise for patients
In conclusion, Nursing interventions can reduce the incidence of osteoporosis, accelerate the recovery of osteoporosis, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Also, exercise and nutrition influenced osteoporosis patients’ bone density at best in the categories analyzed within this review. However, these nursing interventions have a far wider scope of impact that needs to be explored. Further research is recommended to study the nursing interventions for the different ages of osteoporosis patients and all kinds of ways to protect the patients from fracture. Regularly exercise and supplement vitamins and calcium could be studied as an evidence-based option in supportive treatment. Patients education could be further explored as an intervention to study it is an influence on patients’ condition to protect themselves.
