We used a quantile regression model to analyze the key factors influencing the scores of each item.Results: The study results showed that undergraduate degree or above, working as a doctor, work experience of < 5 years or 10– 20 years and high professional technical title are related to a higher level of osteoporosis knowledge. Male gender was associated with higher exercise efficacy and calcium barriers scores. Older age and long years of working experience were associated with higher susceptibility score. Lower education level was associated with higher calcium barriers score. Doctor occupation was associated with lower seriousness score, higher exercise benefits score, higher calcium benefits scores and higher health motivation score. Professional and technical title was also related to exercise and calcium benefits score.Conclusion: When carrying out education and promotion work on osteoporosis prevention and treatment targeting the group of healthcare workers, different content and emphases should be considered, and different groups should be selected for more targeted publicity and popularization.Keywords: obstetrics and gynecology hospital, osteoporosis, awareness, health belief, self-efficacy |
