Q2-the harm of the suggested intervention.

What is the effect of the fall prevention program on rate of fallers, patient-centered safety and patient safety culture?

– Is a fall-prevention tool kit that engages patients and families associated with a reduction in falls?

Is the patient’s belief of fall risk linked to their perception of their ability to walk?

Purposes/Aim of Study

To systematically review various literatures on effectiveness as well as harms of interventions of fall prevention in community-dwelling elderly.

The aim of this research is to assess the effects of fall prevention on patient’s culture, patient-centered safety and rate of fallers.

The aim of this research is to assess if the fall-prevention tool kit, which engages families and the patient into the process of fall prevention through hospitalization is linked to decrease of fall and injurious falls.

The purpose of this research is to describe the patient's perspective of fall prevention to aid in the design of patient centered strategies.

Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative)

Descriptive research design has been used to obtain various information that will systematically describe the phenomenon. Case study and archival research have been used in this article.

Cross-sectional study design.

Design used is stepped-wedge in this nonrandomized-controlled trial.

Use of qualitative design through use of semi-structured interviews.

Setting/Sample

The sample used was from randomized clinical trials of fall-prevention intervention in adults aged 65 and above.

The study was performed in two orthopedic departments in Mør og Romsdal Hospital Trust, in different cities. Parents aged above 64 years admitted with CD and ID with at least 24 hours duration participated.

-The research was conducted in 14 medical units that were within three academic medical centers in New York and Boston between November 1, 2015 and October 31st 2018. The sample was from all inpatient-hospitalized adult.

The sample of twelve patients is used in the academic healthcare center.

Methods: Intervention/Instruments

Instruments used include drafts of review questions, analytic framework and inclusion and exclusion criteria was used.

The intervention used was “In safe hands” as proposed by national patient safety campaign.

The intervention included a nurse-led fall-prevention tool kit.

Use of three major themes, which include, “How I see myself” “how I see the intervention” and “How I see us”. In addition, the study used subthemes in each theme.

Analysis

A random effects meta-analysis using DerSimonian-Laird method was used in calculating the pooled RRs (Relative risks).

Fisher’s exact test, Mann-Whitney U-test and student’s t-test was used to analyze the comparison depending on various factors.

-all the analysis in this research used the intent-to-treat principle.

The interviews assisted in understanding patient perspective. The theme used provided patient beliefs, useful equipment as well as patient barriers in participating in fall prevention plan.

Key Findings

-Exercise and multifactorial intervention are associated with reduction in fall outcome

– Exercise intervention is also associated with fewer patients experiencing fewer falls.

– Fall prevention program that was used showed no significant effect on rate, patient safety culture or the patient-centered safety.

-Patient-care partnerships seem to be beneficial for falls and fall-related injuries.

-implementation of fall-prevention tool can reduce falls and fall related injuries.

-majority of fall prevention programs support the clinical-led plan created and implemented.

– Patient fall assess should be patient-centric instead of clinician-centric.

Recommendations

-further study on Vitamin D supplements intervention which is had mixed results.

The study suggests that identifying new methods to reduce falls as well as improving patient observation such as environmental adaptations, intelligent sensor systems with videos, alarms and icons might be better preventive measures.

Further investigation on fall-prevention tool kit, which is patient-care centered.

Develop patient fall assessment and intervention that are patient-centric.

Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone Project

-This article supports the Capstone project by presenting fall preventions, which will help improve patient care depending on hospital settings depending on their design, components and delivery.

This article provides information on how some fall preventive intervention might be ineffective if not professionally researched thus supporting the capstone project.

This article supports the capstone project by analyzing how the provide fall prevention tool kit can reduce the rates of fall through linking the specific patient risk factors to interventions that are most likely to prevent fall and its related injuries.

This article provides information on fall intervention, which might have a significant impact on the caption project.

Impact of Fall Prevention on Nurses and Care of Fall Risk Patients.

Published on April 2, 2018.

Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative)

The most common consistent recommendations in fall prevention clinical practice guidelines, across all settings, for adults 60 years or older?

Is “Pisando Fuerte” program effective in fall prevention on Hispanic/ Latinos older adult?

What is the variability in the ability to engage patients in the 3-step fall prevention process across the Fall TIPS modalities?

What are the impacts of “zero falls” on nurses and patients?

Purposes/Aim of Study

The purpose of this research is to perform a systematic review of clinical practice guidelines for falls-prevention as well as management for adults 60 years or older in all settings such as community, acute care, and nursing homes evaluate agreement in recommendations, and identify potential gaps.

The aim of this study is to describe the implementation of PF at two community organizations in Wisconsin.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether Fall TIPS modality affects patient engagement in the 3-step fall prevention process.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of fall prevention experiences on nurses providing care to fall risk patients.

Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative)

A qualitative systematic review research design was used.

The qualitative research design used in this clinical trial is the single arm clinical trial.

Research design used was audit question in qualitative criteria.

-RE-AIM framework was used to evaluate the implementation of the program. Data was collected through survey and descriptive statistics reported for participants fidelity measures, demographics, FaB, maintenance and TUG. In addition, the content analysis was used in analyzing the interview’s transcripts.

– each unit regardless of the site and modality reached a clinically significant rate of above 80% of patient engagement as well as the adherence with sign protocol to decrease fall and fall related injuries rate.

-Data was analyzed using selective, axial and open coding.

Key Findings

-The 15 selected guideline had high-quality AGREE-II total score

– The strength for recommendation was inconsistence for fall prevention education, vitamin D supplementation and addressing cognitive thinking.

Pisando Fuerte improves the behaviors associated with decrees fall frequencies.

-the program showed promising reduction on fall similar to Stepping on implementation.

-there is little difference in the ability to engage the patients in the three FALL TIPS modalities.

– No significant difference between the three modalities in ability to engage patients.

– Fall prevention protocol targeted in risk reduction for fall is not available in almost every unit.

-Nurses feel intense pressure in meeting the hospital goals of “Zero Falls” especially without the protocol.

-there is lack of strong evidence-base for care delivery for patients with fall risk.

Recommendations

-future guidelines should address the applicability of their clinical recommendation and include patient and other stakeholder’s perspective.

– need to value conduction rigorous evaluation on implementation metrics, which consist of cultural adaption of behavior change intervention.

– providing the three FALL TIPS modalities will be an effective as well as flexible approach for adoption promotion.
