dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study was to rule out psychosocial issues of women with post-menopausal osteoporosis and how these psychosocial issues due to osteoporosis affect their quality of life. An indigenous scale was developed to measure psychosocial issues of women with post menopausal osteoporosis by following a three stage model of scale development. After factor analysis two factors were revealed (Psychosocial problems related to self and psychosocial problems related to others). This study was conducted with women having post menopausal osteoporosis (N= 100). Women were selected through purposive sampling with age range 49 to 60 years (M 56.13, SD 3.81). The main study was carried out through an indigenous scale (Psychosocial Issues of Women with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (PSWO) Scale), demographic form and WHO Quality Of Life –Brief Scale (Khan, Akhter, Ayub, Alam & Laghari, 2003) questionnaire from orthopedic department of major public and private hospitals of city. Cronbach Alpha of the indigenous scale was .87. One week test re test reliability on 10 % (N=10) was .84 that showed that test was highly reliable. The results identified psychosocial issues of women with post-menopausal osteoporosis and how these psychosocial issues due to osteoporosis affected their quality of life. Whereas it was found that there was a negative relationship between psychosocial issues and quality of life among women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. It was found that duration of problem (osteoporosis) and Psychosocial Issues of Women with PSWO Factor 1 and Psychosocial Issues of PSWO Factor 2 were significant predictors of lesser quality of life due to post menopausal osteoporosis. The study will help in understanding the psychosocial problems that are created by osteoporosis and how they affect quality of life of women. It will also help to identify the relationship between post menopausal osteoporosis, psychosocial issues and quality of life.en_US
