Falling is the second leading cause of accidental injury to death worldwide. It is estimated that more than 80% of the people die each year in low and middle-income countries. Falling is also the leading cause of death among the elderly in China. Among them, the falling rate in 2016 increased by 5% compared with 2006. Although not fatal, those who fell and have a disability, which may face significant economic risks associated with subsequent long-term care needs, especially for the elderly [1]. It may be essential to use evidence-based guidelines for proving health education to address the issue of preventing hospitalization for the elderly. This article will combine the author’s practical experience to examine the contribution of health education to prevent falls and explore its application and development in China. Lastly, it will explain barriers to health education.

Purpose: This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of a fall prevention program for older adult patients hospitalized in an acute general hospital, as well as to provide data for fall prevention among this population.Methods: A total of 29 participants in the experimental group and 29 participants in the control group took part in this survey. After the intervention, the mean difference in fall prevention knowledge was 4.69 for the experimental group and -0.52 for the control group (t=7.761, p<.001). Fall prevention behavior was 7.52 for the experimental group and 4.24 for the control group (t=3.888, p<.001), and fall prevention efficacy was 11.90 for the experimental group and -0.28 for the control group (t=8.309, p<.001).All results showed statistically significant differences, indicating that the fall prevention education program was effective.Results: The homogeneity test of the two groups for each item showed no significant differences. In the experimental group, fall-related knowledge (t=-9.430, p<.001), fall prevention behavior (t=-12.905, p<.001), and fall efficacy (t=-7.313, p<.001) were all significant. In the control group, fall prevention behavior (t=-5.478, p<.001) was significant, while fallrelated knowledge (t=.653, p=.517) and fall efficacy (t=.169, p=.866) were not considered significant. The post-intervention results of the two groups showed that the experimental group had greater fall prevention knowledge (t=6.996, p<.001), fall prevention behavior (t=-2.762, p=.008), and fall prevention efficacy (t=7.797, p<.001) than the control group.Conclusion: Based on these results, it is necessary to develop and implement a fall prevention program for patients at medical institutions to actively participate in which older adult patients at each medical institution can actively participate.

Purpose: Purposes of this study were to develop an integrated online and offline medication management program and to examine effects of the program for older adults with hypertension residing in the community. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Participants were 57 older adults with hypertension (Intervention group: 29, control group: 28). The experimental group participated in the medication management program, which included the following, verbal and video education, individual counseling and using medication note over three weeks. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. The data were analyzed by Generalized Estimation Equation. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups in terms of their knowledge of hypertension and self-efficacy for appropriate medication. Conclusion: The integrated medication management program was effective as indicated in knowledge of hypertension and self-efficacy for appropriate medication. Future studies are required to explore the medication management program’s effects on older adults with hypertension using more rigorous research methods.
