"In both hospitals and long-term care facilities it's the older patients and residents who are most prone to falling and most vulnerable to serious injury from a fall. Staff must constantly be on the alert for hazardous situations and know how to deal with falls. This easy-to-read guide provides just the right amount of information needed by health care staff to prevent and manage this common problem among older adults."

Nationally, 28.4% of older adults fall each year. Falls and resulting injury result in decreased mobility, functional impairment, loss of independence, and increased mortality. Utilization of evidence based protocols by providers to identify older adults at risk of falling is limited and rates of participation by older adults in prevention activities is low. Because of nursing's increasing role in caring for older adults, development of fall prevention education for nursing students would result in increased awareness of the need for fall prevention in community dwelling older adults and increased access of older adults to falls risk assessment. There is a need to extend research to inform teaching and learning strategies for fall prevention. After pretesting, a convenience sample of 52 BSN students and 20 graduate nursing students completed an online education program and performed a falls risk assessment on an older adult before completing a posttest and self-efficacy survey. Data were analyzed using multivariate statistical tests. A qualitative approach was used to investigate a subset of student's views about relationships between acquiring knowledge, self-efficacy, and skill mastery and their perceptions of barriers and facilitators to incorporating falls risk assessment into practice. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative method to review, code, and categorize data. Results revealed a rise in knowledge and student self-reporting of self-efficacy with falls risk assessment skills. Themes that emerged from semi-structured interviews included nurses are too busy to perform fall risk assessments, the older adult is a barrier, the importance of increasing awareness of falls prevention among nurses, opportunities to address health beliefs of older adults, and need for policies or guidelines. In conclusion, an online program enhanced with opportunity for hands on practice provides an effective environment for learning to use falls risk tools and should be incorporated into nursing education in order to increase older adults' access to fall risk assessment.

Falls are a significant concern for community-dwelling older adults (OAs), with one in four OAs reporting a fall every year. Occupational therapy students collaborated with first responders of the Novato Fire District to identify gaps in fall prevention community outreach programs and found that many interventions lack an interactive or individualized approach. Based on the gap analysis and current literature, seven education modules were developed to address key risk factors including home safety hazards, polypharmacy, fear of falling, and strength and balance exercises. Thirty community-dwelling OAs participated in the education modules that were implemented at two senior community sites in Marin County. Participants were screened via Functional Reach Test (FRT) and completed a survey to determine their personal risk factors for falling, which guided their personalized fall prevention education. Of the participants, 90% rated their experience with the education modules as "very good" or "excellent," and a majority indicated greatest satisfaction with the balance exercises. The interactive 1:1 education modules are an effective and innovative method for fall prevention education and highlight the importance of client-centered treatment.

Older adults can stay healthy longer by avoiding injury at home. As we age, our sense of balance and our vision, hearing, and cognition become less sharp. Aging-related changes greatly increase our risk of injury. In Living Safely, Aging Well, nationally recognized safety expert Dorothy A. Drago spells out how to prevent injury while cooking, gardening, sleeping, driving—and just walking around the house. In the first part of the book, Drago describes the causes of injuries by type—falls, burns, poisoning, and asphyxia—and explains how to decrease the risk of each. She then explores the home environment room by room, pointing out potential hazards and explaining how to avoid them, for example, by installing night lights, eliminating glass coffee tables, and using baby monitors. Lively line drawings make it easy for readers to visualize risks and implement prevention techniques. Living Safely, Aging Well pays special attention to hazards encountered by people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. A chapter devoted to health literacy helps people and caregivers make the best use of the medical care system and a chapter on driving helps evaluate when it is no longer safe to be behind the wheel.

Background: Falls are a problem for older adults. In particular, older hospitalised adults and those recently discharged from hospital have been shown to be at an increased risk of falls compared to older adults living in the community. Falls impact negatively on the physical and psychosocial well-being of older adults. They increase the burden of care for their family, caregivers and the healthcare system. However, many falls in older adults are preventable. Cochrane reviews demonstrated many strategies were effective in preventing falls in the hospital and community settings. However, older adults were shown to have little knowledge of protective strategies they could engage in preventing falls. It is therefore apparent that many of them may not become involved in effective falls prevention activities during hospitalisation and after discharge without active education from their healthcare providers about what strategies they should be using. There is a new piece of evidence from the most recent Cochrane review that providing education to patients targeting individual risk factors can reduce their risk of falling in hospital, however, it is unclear whether education intervention is effective in reducing their risk of falling following discharge from hospital.Objectives:The objectives of the thesis were to investigate whether provision of education intervention to older adults could potentially increase the uptake of falls prevention activities, and prevent falls during hospitalisation and after discharge to the community. It explored what falls prevention education and how frequently it was being provided to older adults and their caregivers. It also investigated the barriers and facilitators to this education taking place.

The Minnesota Department of Public Health cited unintentional falls as the leading cause of injury-related emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and deaths for Minnesotans aged 65 and older. The purpose of this project was to implement the evidence-based older adult falls prevention program Stepping On for community-dwelling older adults. This was accomplished by creating strategic partnerships between Transcultural Nurse Leaders, Faith Community Nurses, and other community stakeholders. The project was grounded on Rosemarie Parse's Human Becoming Theory. The Older Adult Fall Prevention Sunflower Model illustrates the interrelationships of the core concepts for the project. This active approach is also in alignment with Parse's theory which stresses the value of co-participative and person-centered nursing. Using this theory allows nurses to walk alongside older adults to openly explore all aspect of falls and assist them to create an action plan to prevent them from occurring. Addressing fall prevention for older adults is a nursing challenge that will require a collaborative teamwork approach that is both interdisciplinary and inter-professional. This project advanced nursing by providing the nurse leader with the tools needed to implement the evidence-based injury prevention education program for community-dwelling older adults. It also provides a framework that will facilitate collaboration with other healthcare experts and community-based organizations to form strategic partnerships that will reach older adults and prevent falls.
