Abstract : Background: Globally, osteoporosis is a significant public health concern. Every year, the prevalence of it rises, with the developing world experiencing a significantly quicker rate of increase. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (2003), osteoporosis is a condition that is difficult to avoid and treat since it causes bone loss without any symptoms.Methods: A pre-experimental study was conducted in the urban health center in Puducherry to evaluate the osteoporotic patients' awareness of physical well-being. A straightforward sample strategy was used to choose fifty osteoporotic consumers. A structured survey was employed to assess understanding, and both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were applied to examine the information. Results: According to the analysis, out of fifty osteoporotic clients, 100% of the male clients and 96% of the female clients lacked sufficient understanding. Following the nursing interventional package, the male and female participants' knowledge levels rise to 68.4% and 58.6%, respectively. Thus, the study's significance at the <0.001 level was determined. Conclusion: According to the study's findings, the nursing intervention package proved to be a very successful strategy for raising the level of physical well-being awareness among male and female osteoporotic clients who visited the geriatrics clinic at Odiyansali Urban Health Center.
