Abstract
Purpose: To determine musculoskeletal function and factors associated with musculoskeletal function among persons with chronic osteomyelitis.
Design: Descriptive research.
Main findings: Persons with chronic osteomyelitis had lower musculoskeletal function scores than those in normal persons. Physical factors (sex and sites of osteomyelitis), treatment factor (consistent follow-up) were significantly associated with musculoskeletal function (p < .05). However, age, cigarette smoking, duration of infection, types of surgery treatment, the numbers of surgery, and pain level had no association with musculoskeletal function.
Conclusion and recommendations: Sex, sites of osteomyelitis and consistent follow-up were associated with musculoskeletal function among persons with chronic osteomyelitis. Therefore, nurses should emphasize on how important the consistent follow-up is. Moreover, other associated factors of musculoskeletal function should be further studied.
