“…Falls, therefore, have a negative effect not only on patients and guardians but also socially and economically on the community [ 81 ]. Existing studies on rehabilitation treatment for fractures caused by falls [ 82 ], community preventive interventions and connections with long-term care [ 83 ], and multi-disciplinary approaches have been performed in other countries. In contrast, the number of studies on systems, such as the integrated association between related community organizations [ 84 ], is decreasing in South Korea [ 85 ].…”

This descriptive study analyzed 1849 international and 212 Korean studies to explore the main topics of nursing research on accidental falls. We extracted only nouns from each abstract, and four topics were identified through topic modeling, which were divided into aspects of fall prevention and its consequences. “Fall prevention program and scale” is popular among studies on the validity of fall risk assessment tools and the development of exercise and education programs. “Nursing strategy for fall prevention” is common in studies on nurse education programs and practice guidelines to improve the quality of patient safety care. “Hospitalization by fall injury” is used in studies about delayed discharge, increased costs, and deaths of subjects with fall risk factors hospitalized at medical institutions due to fall-related injuries. “Long-term care facility falls” is popular in studies about interventions to prevent fall injuries that occur in conjunction with dementia in long-term care facilities. It is necessary to establish a system and policy for fall prevention in Korean medical institutions. This study confirms the trends in domestic and international fall-related research, suggesting the need for studies to address insufficient fall-related policies and systems and translational research to be applied in clinical trials.
