Aim This study aimed to develop and validate sarcopenia and fall knowledge assessment scales for community‐dwelling older adults. Methods A five‐phase, systematic and standardized process was used. Phase 1: item pools were constructed based on the Symptom Interpretation Model. Phase 2: the Delphi expert consultation was carried out for items selection and revision. Phase 3: a pilot survey was carried out to further select and revise the items. Phase 4: older adults were surveyed to finalize the items. Phase 5: older adults were surveyed to test the psychometric properties of the two developed scales, including construct validity, reliability and acceptability. Results Both scales comprise three dimensions (symptom, risk factor and management strategy), with 10 items for the sarcopenia knowledge assessment scale and 14 items for the fall knowledge assessment scale. They had acceptable construct validity, with all indicators meeting their specific criteria. Their reliability was acceptable, with the Cronbach's α coefficients being 0.82 for both scales, the value of spilt‐half reliability being 0.86 for the sarcopenia knowledge assessment scale and 0.85 for the fall knowledge assessment scale. Their acceptability was good, with both scales having a completion rate of 94.35% and an average completion time of 5 min. Discussion Two Chinese knowledge assessment scales with acceptable validity, reliability and acceptability have been developed, which will facilitate the assessment of the knowledge on sarcopenia and fall among community‐dwelling older adults, especially for large‐scale surveys.

“…Pada pertambahan usia seseorang yang memasuki proses menua cenderung terjadi gangguan keseimbangan dalam beraktifitas termasuk cara berjalan (Benigni, et al, 2018). Pada kondisi ini lansia yang masih aktif pergerkannya pada sistem muskuloskletal dan mempunyai tingkat mobilitas yang tinggi dalam aktifitas sehari-hari dapat memicu bertambahnya resiko jatuh yang berulang walaupun lansia tersebut tidak disertai penyakit akut maupun kronis (Shyu et al, 2017).…”

Indonesia have been structurezed by old pyramid people.Its was a slighthy number thats effect to a nationality burden. One of case called as immobility and recurent of falls. Falls experienced among older people to limit their activities optimally. Amount of 80% of elders Indonesian who aged more than 65 years old forced it, they were more likely to be patient but they were not to be aware during their daily activities in this case.The previous studies showed that falling into risk factors that are closely related to the incidence of immobilization.This study aimed to identify the relationship between falls’ experience and immobility incidence among older people. The research approach used a cross-sectional design and the number of samples of 95 people selected by accidental sampling. Data were analyzed by Spearman Rank correlation test.The results showed that 88.4% of respondents had no experience of fall and 48.4% of respondents in the category of high immobility events.This study was identified that a significantly relathionship between falls’ experience among older people as an internal factor against immobility events. Based on the results of study,it is suggested that further research needs to investigate the risk factors of immobility and the fall prevention program for elderly. Indonesia termasuk negara yang berstruktur piramida penduduk tua. Tingginya peningkatan usia tua menambah beban pembangunan kesehatan nasional. Salah satu masalah kesehatan ini dikenal sebagai imobilitas dan jatuh yang berulang. Pengalaman jatuh yang dialami membuat lansia membatasi aktifitasnya secara optimal. Di Indonesia hampir 80% kelompok usia lanjut terutama usia 65 tahun keatas menjadikan imobilitas sebagai masalah yang mudah ditemukan tetapi sering tidak disadari efeknya oleh lansia dalam kesehariannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jatuh menjadi faktor resiko yang sangat erat kaitannya dengan kejadian imobilisasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan pengalaman jatuh dengan kejadian imobilitas pada kelompok lanjut usia. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah cross sectional dan jumlah sampel sebanyak 95 orang dipilih secara accidental sampling. Data penelitian dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman Rank. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 88,4% responden tidak mempunyai pengalaman jatuh dan sebnayak 48,4% responden dalam kategori kejadian imobilitas yang tinggi. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan pengalaman jatuh sebagai faktor internal terhadap kejadian imobilitas yang dialami lansia. Hal yang dapat disarankan berdasarkan hasil penelitian adalah perlunya penelitian lebih lanjut terhadap faktor-faktor resiko imobilitas dan intervensi keperawatan dalam pencegahan kejadian jatuh yang dialami lansia.

“…Based on the results of the studies presented, it is understood that the instruments used by the authors who assessed fall risk among elderly people can be applied as strategies to prevent the occurrence of this event. The application of these instruments is important to identify, in the inpatient units, the number of hospitalized patients aged over 60 years and assessed with high fall risk (15,(25)(26) .…”

Objective: to identify scientific productions on nursing care related to fall risk prevention among hospitalized elderly people. Methods: an integrative literature review from 2015 to 2019 in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, BDENF, SciELO and CINAHL databases, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. The keywords were elderly, hospitalization, accidents due to falls, nursing care. Results: thirty-three publications were analyzed. The synthesis of the studies resulted in the categories: Clinical nursing assessments to prevent falls among hospitalized elderly people; Fall risk factors for elderly people; Fall risk prevention strategies for elderly people. Final considerations: it was found that the scientific knowledge produced on nursing care related to fall risk prevention for hospitalized elderly people evidences the clinical assessment, risk factors and strategies such as nursing care, contributing to foster self-care behavior and promotion security for elderly people.
