Abstract
Osteomalacia is a condition where bone mineralisation is impaired by lack of vitamin D. It more commonly affects darker skinned individuals in the UK, especially if they wear occlusive clothing. Lifestyle changes and Vitamin D supplementation are recommended for those people most at risk through these factors, but such advice is not commonly followed. This indicates an educational need for information on osteomalacia and its treatment.
Using a previously developed Mind-Map on osteomalacia, a layered and interactive ”PowerPoint” style presentation was developed, using hyperlinks. The “basic” layer was translated into Urdu and validated by Urdu speaking professionals. The translation was accurate and meaningful and the tool was well received by representatives of the community. The tool was used to educate a group of 10 community leaders from the Urdu community in Stourbridge, UK. Knowledge about osteomalacia was tested in these people, before and after the education, and increased from an average of 14 to 25 points (p < 0.05). Qualitative feedback gained was very positive.
Conclusion: An interactive educational tool for Osteomalacia was developed and translated into Urdu. Use of the tool resulted in increased knowledge about osteomalacia.
