Abstract
A cross-sectional survey was initiated to study the factors affecting adoption of preventive behaviors regarding knee osteoarthritis among the elderly in Nong Yang Suea Subdistrict, Muak Lek District, Saraburi Province. The PRECEDE-PROCEDE Framework model was adopted as the basis for the investigation. The population chosen consisted of elderly people aged 60 years and over who had never been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Data were collected, via a specially generated questionnaire, from 285 respondents selected using proportional quota sampling. The questionnaire possessed acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient of .82). Data were analyzed by utilizing descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the overall adoption of osteoarthritis preventive behaviors by the elderly was at a moderate level (78.6%). The predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors were associated with the adoption of preventive behaviors for osteoarthritis in the elderly. The predisposing factors, which include perceived self-efficacy and attitude to prevent osteoarthritis, the enabling factors, which involve the arrangement of the home environment, and reinforcing factors, which involve the social support, were able to predict (31.9%) the osteoarthritis preventive behaviors adopted by the elderly (p < .05).
