Innovative Patient Education for Preventing Falls after Hospital Discharge

老年人出院后跌倒的风险增加，但对跌倒的认识水平较低，可能不愿开展预防跌倒的活动。提供适当的教育可以减少这些老年患者的跌倒。这项随机试验将确定在常规护理之外提供个性化的预防跌倒教育是否能减少老年人出院后的跌倒。跌倒是澳大利亚老年人受伤的主要原因

Older people are at increased risk of falls after hospital discharge, but have low levels of knowledge about falls and may be reluctant to undertake falls prevention activities. Providing suitable education may reduce falls in these older patients. This randomized trial will determine if providing personalized falls prevention education in addition to usual care, reduces falls among older people after they leave hospital. Falls are the leading cause of injury among older people in Australia
