Osteoporosis is a common chronic disease amongst older adults in high-income countries such as Canada. Women are four times more likely than men to be diagnosed with osteoporosis (Alswat, 2017). Although populations in many high-income countries have become increasingly diverse with waves of immigrants, there has been limited research involving these new arrivals to Canada. There are studies that show that using the Health Belief Model (HBM) is effective for developing osteoporosis prevention programs. The objective of this study is to examine osteoporosis health beliefs and knowledge among female Southeast Asian immigrants living in Regina, Saskatchewan. Using a phenomenological approach, I interviewed individuals to explore osteoporosis health beliefs and behaviours.Eight female participants, including five from Thailand and three from Myanmar, aged 25-49 participated in the interviews that were audio-taped. Field notes and reflexivity were recorded throughout the research process to document thoughts and emotions about the contents and process of the study. Analysis followed hermeneutic phenomenology and allowed for emergence of themes.Six themes were developed. The first theme is osteoporosis knowledge. It has three subthemes: no osteoporosis knowledge, low osteoporosis knowledge, and osteoporosis is misunderstood. The second theme is osteoporosis beliefs, and it has two subthemes, subtheme one: having osteoporosis is painful, and subtheme two: having osteoporosis decreases organ/muscle support. The third theme is food culture, and its subthemes are: preference (prefer cultural food and food does not taste authentic), subtheme two: changing food habits, and subtheme three: food beliefs (cultural food is healthy while Canadian food is unhealthy). The fourth theme is nutrition behaviour, which has two subthemes, subtheme one: calcium (low calcium consumption, having enough calcium, and no calcium rich food knowledge), and subtheme two: taking supplements but not calcium. The fifth theme is physical activity, which has three subthemes, including subtheme one: levels of physical activity; subtheme two: physical barriers; and subtheme three: physical activity beliefs. Finally, theme sixth is influencers, which has five subthemes, including subtheme one: personal beliefs influenced eating habits; subtheme two: internet, subtheme three: family, subtheme four: friends, and subtheme five: healthcare professionals.This study reflects one step towards a better understanding of osteoporosis knowledge and health beliefs among Southeast Asian immigrants to Canada. Future research needs to examine perspectives of different ethnic groups. There is also a need to gain a better understanding of the barriers to osteoporosis health prevention in order to develop effective policies that support osteoporosis prevention.
