About this study
Official title: Investigation of Knowledge and Practices Regarding Pediatric Osteoporosis in Türkiye: A Cross-Sectional Study
The goal of this observational- cross sectional study is to investigate the knowledge and practices of physicians in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM\&R), Pediatrics, and Orthopedics regarding pediatric osteoporosis. The main question it aims to answer is:
What are the levels of knowledge and approaches of physicians in PM\&R, Pediatrics, and Orthopedics regarding pediatric osteoporosis, and how can a psychometrically valid and reliable data collection tool be developed to measure these?
Participants, including PM\&R, Pediatrics, and Orthopedics physicians, will complete an online questionnaire consisting of demographic and clinical practice questions, as well as items measuring their knowledge about pediatric osteoporosis. The study also includes a pilot test with a subset of participants to evaluate the clarity and reliability of the questionnaire.
Read the detailed description
The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and approaches of physicians in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM\&R), Pediatrics, and Orthopedics regarding pediatric osteoporosis. A secondary aim was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a data collection tool designed to measure knowledge and practices related to pediatric osteoporosis.
The Pediatric Osteoporosis Knowledge and Practice Assessment Scale, used as the data collection tool, was developed based on evidence-based guidelines and the International Society for Clinical Densitometry Pediatric Position Statements. The scale consists of a preliminary section assessing demographic data and clinical practices, and a second section measuring knowledge levels. The questions were designed with "true" (1 point), "false," and "I don't know" (0 points) options, similar to the Osteoporosis Knowledge Questionnaire, which is intended for adults. The questions were categorized into general knowledge and diagnosis, risk factors, assessment, and treatment.
Content validity of the scale was ensured by a panel of experts in the field. The scale was distributed online via Google Forms and applied to 321 physicians. A pilot test was conducted with 10 PM\&R physicians to evaluate its clarity. To assess reliability, the scale was administered twice to 30 physicians with a one-week interval.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Level of knowledge and practices of physicians in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), Pediatrics, and Orthopedics regarding pediatric osteoporosis.
This outcome will likely be measured by:
The total score obtained from the Pediatric Osteoporosis Knowledge and Practice Assessment Scale, which evaluates knowledge in the domains of general information and diagnosis, risk factors, assessment, and treatment.
Measured: From October 2024 to November 2024
Secondary outcomes (1)
Validation and reliability of the Pediatric Osteoporosis Knowledge and Practice Assessment Scale as a psychometric tool
This will be assessed through:
Reliability Testing:
Test-retest reliability using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) from responses collected one week apart.
Internal Consistency:
Cronbach's alpha coefficient to determine the consistency of the items within the scale.
Structural Validity:
Factor analysis to confirm that the scale items align with predefined theoretical domains (e.g., general knowledge and diagnosis, risk factors, assessment, and treatment).
Measured: From October 2024 to November 2024
