“…Another explanation is that, after the intervention, some participants may have started to pay attention to their vision and hearing needs since recommendations about the correct use of eyeglasses were provided and resulted in a significant change in the vision compensation behavior of the IG. This was also found in a previous study (Ott, 2018).…”

“…These results are similar to those reported in a randomized trial which reported, after 12‐ and 52‐weeks postintervention, a significant change in fall prevention behaviors (Kamei et al., 2015), and to those reported in a quasi‐experimental research, in which the researchers provided instructions to improve the safety of older adults’ homes and resulted in important changes in the home environment of the participants (Ott, 2018).…”

Purpose: To measure the effects of the NIC intervention fall prevention on the magnitude of the NANDA-I Risk for falls' risk factors and of NOC indicators related to falls in older adults with arterial hypertension. Background: Nurses can use nursing taxonomies to provide effective care in preventing falls in specific populations. Methods: Clinical, randomized, open, parallel, and multicenter trial following the CON-SORT recommendations for nonpharmacological trials. The clinical trial was registered. The research was conducted with 118 older adults allocated to intervention and control groups and matched by sex and age. The intervention was conducted in the participants' homes in three different moments and consisted of nursing activities belonging to the NIC Fall prevention and implemented with the aid of a protocol with operational definitions.Findings: Three months after the intervention, there was a significant intergroup difference in the frequency of Risk for falls and of the following factors/conditions: cluttered environment, unfamiliar setting, exposure to unsafe weather-related condition, insufficient anti-slip material in the bathroom, history of falls, acute illness, orthostatic hypotension, hearing impairment, and impaired vision. There was also a positive change in the magnitude of the following NOC indicators: risk control, cognitive orientation, knowledge: fall prevention, safe home environment, comfort level, vision compensation behavior, and leisure participation. Conclusions:The NIC intervention Fall prevention was effective in modifying risk factors belonging to Risk for falls and NOC indicators related to falls in older adults. Implications for nursing practice:The tested intervention is important and should be instituted, mainly by nurses from primary care services who make home visits to older adults.

“…On the contrary, all studies did not report any association between fall risk awareness or knowledge and fall preventive behaviour. Despite that, theoretical principles supported the relationship of knowledge to behaviour change as demonstrated in numerous studies (Miller, 2010;Ott, 2018;Punlomso et al, 2020). Using an interactive and familiar activity to conduct FPE may increase the likelihood of older individuals' behaviour participation in the prevention process and learning (Flint et al, 2020).…”

“…Unfortunately, there was no further explanation in a study by Chen (2013). Khong et al, 2017;Ott, 2018). Two studies focused on home or environmental risks (Kamei et al, 2015;Schepens et al, 2011), and another study provided education on environmental risks and exercise information (Chen, 2013).…”

Objectives This review aims to identify types of the existing fall prevention education (FPE) and their effectiveness in promoting fall risk awareness, knowledge and preventive fall behaviour change among community‐dwelling older people. Background FPE is a cost‐effective and helpful tool for reducing fall occurrences. Evaluation This is a systematic review study using electronic searches via EBSCOHost® platform, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Google Scholar in March 2021. The review protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021232102). The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement flow chart guided the search strategy. Articles published from January 2010 to March 2021 were included for quality appraisal using the ‘Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Non‐randomised Designs’ (TREND) and the ‘Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials’ (CONSORT) statement for randomised controlled trial studies. Key issues Six FPE studies selected emphasised on personal health status, exercise and environmental risk factors. These studies reported an increase in fall risk awareness or knowledge and a positive change in fall preventive behaviours. Two studies included nurses as educators in FPE. Conclusion FPE evidently improved awareness or knowledge and preventive fall behaviour change among older adults. Nurses are in great potential in planning and providing FPE for older adults in community settings. Implications for Nursing Management Expand nurses' roles in fall prevention programmes in community settings by using high‐quality and evidence‐based educational tools. Highlight the nurse's role and collaborative management in FPE.

“…The HBM consists of health person's beliefs (risk susceptibility, risk severity, benefits to action, and barriers to action), self-efficacy, and cues to action 12 . Nowadays, it has been widely used in health promotion and behavioral modification programs in older persons [13][14][15] . The purposes of this present study were to examine effects of HBM-OEP on postural balance and quadriceps muscle strength and to investigate levels of knowledge, perception, and behavior related to fall prevention in communitydwelling older persons.…”

Health belief model (HBM) has been widely used to communicate with older persons in order to change their behaviors. This group of people have a higher risk of fall due to poor postural balance and inappropriate fall-related behaviors. Home-exercise programs like Otago exercise program (OEP) can ameliorate postural balance, but most of the older persons do not well comply with the program. This mixed methods research study was aimed to investigate effects of a 12-week HBM-based OEP (HBM-OEP) on postural balance (Berg balance scale, BBS) and quadriceps torque in 72 healthy community-dwelling older persons (control group, n = 36 and HBM-OEP group, n = 36). Levels of fall-related HBM domains (knowledge, perception, and behaviors) were also recorded at baseline and 12-week post-intervention. Results showed that the BBS increased from 51.3±0.4 to 53.2±0.3 (p < 0.05). The quadriceps torque between baseline and post-intervention were not significantly different (181.7±12.2 vs 188.2±9.9 Nm). In contrast, the quadriceps torque in the HBM-OEP group significantly increased from 176.8±10.6 to 220.0±9.2 Nm (p < 0.05). Both quadriceps torque and BBS were positively correlated with the levels of knowledge, perception, and behavior scores. In conclusion, the 12-week HBM-based OEP was effective to improve postural balance and the levels fallrelated health beliefs.
