老年人容易福尔斯，导致受伤和残疾，使跌倒预防成为国家优先事项。本研究的目的是评估社区居住的老年人对福尔斯和跌倒预防活动的看法，以指导干预措施。参与者对福尔斯的认知度很高，相信自己可以降低跌倒的风险。大约四分之三的参与者报告采取行动，以减少跌倒的风险;然而，在社区跌倒预防计划的参与率很低。所使用的调查提供了一种方法，以帮助护士确定跌倒预防干预措施的目标，以减少这种身体健康的差距在脆弱的老年人群。[Journal of Gerontological Nursing，44（9），21-29.].
Older adults are vulnerable to falls that result in injury and disability, making fall prevention a national priority. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate community-dwelling older adults' perceptions about falls and fall prevention activities to guide interventions. Participants had high awareness of falls and believed that they could reduce their risk of falling. Approximately three fourths of participants reported taking actions to reduce risk of falling; however, participation in community fall prevention programs was low. The survey used provides a method to help nurses identify targets for fall prevention interventions to reduce this physical health disparity in vulnerable older populations.
