“…2,9,14 Researchers have clearly identified factors related to falls [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and interventions that reduce falls. 1,12,[18][19][20][21][22][23][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] Yet, falls continue to be a serious safety threat, especially for acutely ill, hospitalized patients. 2,[5][6][7][8]16,17,19,20,30,31 Nurses routinely assess hospitalized patients' risk for falls and educate patients on preventing falls.…”

“…15,22,23 Patients may have perceptions about their own risk for falling that influence adherence to fall-prevention plans. [32][33][34] Although studies have been done on fall-related perceptions among community-dwelling adults, 33,[35][36][37] research on fall-related perceptions among acutely ill hospitalized patients is limited. Nurses need new knowledge about why acutely ill patients do or do not engage in behaviors to prevent falls.…”

Background Prevention of falls during hospitalization depends in part on the behaviors of alert patients to prevent falls. Research on acutely ill patients’ intentions to behave in ways that help prevent falls and on the patients’ perceptions related to falls is limited. Objective To explore hospitalized adults’ perceptions related to risk for falling, fear of falling, expectations of outcomes of falling, and intention to engage in behaviors to prevent falls. Methods Adult, alert, acutely ill inpatients (N = 158) at risk for falling completed a survey consisting of 4 scales and 3 single items. Nurses’ assessments and patients’ perceptions of the risk for falling were compared. Results Decreased intentions to engage in behaviors to prevent falls were correlated with patients’ increased confidence in their ability to perform high-risk behaviors without help and without falling (P < .001), decreased fear of falling (P < .001), and decreased perceived likelihood of adverse outcomes if they did fall (P < .001). Although nurses’ assessments indicated a risk for falls, 55.1% of the patients did not perceive a high likelihood of falling while hospitalized. Whereas 75% of patients intended to ask for help before getting out of bed, 48% were confident that they could get out of bed without help and without falling. Conclusions Although assessments may indicate a risk for falling, acutely ill inpatients may not perceive they are likely to fall. Patients’ intentions to engage in behaviors to prevent falls vary with the patients’ fall-related perceptions of confidence, outcomes, and fear related to falling.

Key points •People aged 60 years and older perceive yoga-based exercise to be an acceptable form of exercise• Yoga-based exercise warrants investigation as a fall prevention strategy for older people •Older people who preference yoga-based exercise over the Otago Exercise Programme tend to be younger, less fearful of falling and view exercise more positively AbstractObjectives and importance of study: Yoga improves balance and mobility, and therefore has potential as a fall prevention strategy, yet its validity for preventing falls has not been established. The Otago Exercise Programme (OEP) and tai chi are proven to prevent falls. This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions and preferences of older people towards a yoga-based program with potential to decrease falls, to compare these perceptions to the views expressed about the OEP and tai chi, and to identify participant characteristics associated with a preference for the yoga program.Study type: Survey.Methods: Participants were 235 community-dwellers aged 60 years or older who were not participating or had not previously participated (within the last 10 years) in yoga-based exercise. Participants completed a self-report survey measuring demographics, physical activity level and attitude. They then viewed explanations of the yoga-based program, the OEP and tai chi. Participants completed the Attitudes to Falls-Related Interventions Scale (AFRIS) to measure program acceptability and identified their preferred program. Acceptability scores and preference were compared between the programs, and factors associated with yoga preference were identified with analysis of variance.

“…Not recognizing (the severity of) a fall or not remembering a fall may attribute to the low uptake by older persons who are offered fall prevention programs [41][42][43], as the recognition of falls by the older persons themselves is crucial for the uptake of a fall prevention program. Another problem is that different perceptions and definitions of a fall exist between older persons, researchers, and health professionals [15,19,28].…”
