Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of health education based on the law of forgetting curve in elderly patients with osteoporosis. Methods A total of 100 elderly patients with osteoporosis who were admitted to the Cadre Sanatorium of Hainan & Geriatric Hospital of Hainan from January 2018 to June 2019 were selected, they were divided into 50 cases in the treatment group and 50 cases in the control group by random number table method, abscission cases were excluded, 48 cases were included in the treatment group and 43 cases in the control group. The control group was given regular health education, and the treatment group adopted health education based on the law of forgetting curve. Follow-up for six months, the two group’s health beliefs, health behaviors, bone density were compared. Results After six months of follow-up, the health belief scores of the two groups were higher than those before education, the scores of susceptibility, severity, dyskinesia, calcium intake, health motivation, and health belief total socre in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the compliance with medical drugs, calcium supplementation, vitamin D supplementation, and moderate exercise of two groups increased significantly compared with those before education in the same group, the compliance with moderate exercise of treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the bone density of the two groups increased significantly compared with before education (P < 0.05), the bone density of the lumbar spine, femoral neck, greater trochanter and Wang’s triangle in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Health education based on the law of forgetting curve can help improve the health belief level of elderly patients with osteoporosis, promote the development of healthy behaviors, improve bone density.
