The gap between women’s needs when diagnosed with asymptomatic osteoporosis and what is provided by the healthcare system: A qualitative study

Abstract

We discuss that physicians pay too much attention to the objective world and highlight that there is a need for better inclusion of women's subjective and social worlds, to enable mutual understanding and communicative action in the osteoporosis consultation. This would lead to treatment decisions based on women's needs and support women in their self-management of osteoporosis.
