Abstract:

Purpose: In women with osteoporosis (OP), it is to evaluate the relationship between kinesiophobia, fear of fall, anxiety and depression levels. Tools and Methods: The female participants who have been involved in our discontinuous observation study OP have been questioned about the levels of fear of fall and movement, anxiety and depression. Demographic data (age, body mass index, broken history) and double X-ray absorption data were recorded. The Tampa Kinesiophobia Measurement (TOC), Falling Activity Measurement (DEA), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Measurement have been used. According to the broken story, 77 people were divided into two groups: the broken OP (n=33) and the broken OP (n=44). There was a negative correlation between bone mineral intensity and TCO, DEO and depression levels (p<0,05). There has been a positive correlation between the scale of falling activity, TCO, anxiety and depression points (r=0,232; r=0,241; r=0,296). In the intergroup analysis, only broken existence and anxiety levels showed a statistical relationship (p=0,003). There is no statistically meaningful difference between the broken presence and the TCO, DEO and depression points (p>0,05). The result: Falling activity has been found to be associated with kinesiophobia, anxiety and depression. Therefore, it should be cautious when OP patients are warned to prevent negative consequences that may occur due to the breakdown. In addition to the negative consequences of the break, it should be focused on how to reduce the falls with balance and strengthening exercises.
