The Effect of Home Based Fall Prevention Program on Older Adults at High Risk of Falling
Sponsor: Istanbul University
Summary
Fall prevention programs that implement and evaluate fall rates, balance status, accidents related to falls and hospital admissions, exercise status, muscle strength, fear of falling, and quality of life can be effective interventions for healthy aging by minimizing the risk of falls in elderly individuals. In this doctoral dissertation study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of a nurse-led home-based fall prevention program on fall rate, balance level, fall risk score, fear of falling, number of hospital admissions due to falls, quality of life, and in-home safety conditions in older adults with high fall risk.
