“…24 Several studies conducted in our country utilizing the Itaki Fall Risk Scale have consistently demonstrated that older adults are at a high risk of falling. [33][34][35][36][37] The results of our study are in line with these previous studies conducted in our country, further supporting the notion of a high fall risk among older adults.…”

Introduction and aim. Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional death in the world. The study was conducted to examine the risk of falls and levels of frailty in older adult patients admitted to the emergency department due to fractures, as well as to identify the factors that influence fall risk and frailty levels. Material and methods. This cross-sectional and correlational study conducted with 155 older patients. Data collected by the patient information form, Itaki Fall Risk Scale and Edmonton Frail Scale. Results. Patients diagnosed with fracture in the emergency department had a high risk of falling with a mean score of 9.55±3.84.70.3% of the patients were frail. The one-third (30.3%) had severe frailty. There was a moderate positive correlation between the risk of falling and the mean frailty score of the older adult patients (p<0.001). Conclusion. The study showed that older adults admitted to the emergency department due to falls are at high risk of falling and the majority of them are frail. Early determination of fall risk and frailty levels in the older adults with a history of falling, prevention of falls and fractures due to falls will be beneficial in increasing the quality of life of the older adults.

“…In our study, there was no statistically signi cant difference in the incidence of falls or FoF according to sex, but there was a signi cant difference in age and the incidence of falls. The mean age of our study participants was 82 years, and the mean age of participants with a history of falls and FoF was greater than that of participants without a history of falls and FoF; these data are consistent with the ndings of previous studies [22][23][24]. There are various results in the literature regarding the relationship between sex and falls.…”

“…A statistically signi cant correlation was found among the Itaki score, fall history, and FoF. This result is consistent with studies conducted with similar age groups [23,44,45]. Karahan et al [46] found no signi cant correlation between the Itaki Fall Risk Scale score and fall history (p = 0.090).…”

Background Falls are an important health problem that can lead to morbidity and mortality in geriatric patients. In this study examined, various factors associated with falls and fear of falling in geriatric patients were examined. Methods This was a prospective, analytical study, and the sample size was calculated to be 320 participants with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 0.05. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated during home visits or hospitalizations. An 11-question sociodemographic and clinical characteristics questionnaire was developed by the researchers after reviewing the literature using a data collection form. The FRAIL Scale, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool, Barthel Index, Itaki Fall Risk Scale, Six-Item Screener, Tinetti Balance and Gait Test, and Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form (GDS-SF) were used to evaluate whether the participants had geriatric syndromes. Results The mean age of the 320 participants was 81.52 ± 7.57 years, and approximately half of the participants were female. The rate of malnutrition was 77.8%. A total of 57.2% of the participants had environmental hazards in their homes, 58.8% had a history of falls, 54.4% had a fear of falling, and 44.1% had experienced an injury due to a fall. There were statistically significant correlations between a history of falls and fear of falls and age, calf circumference, the number of medications used, environmental hazards in the home, fragility, malnutrition risk, and the Itaki Fall Risk Scale, Barthel Index, total Tinetti Balance and Gait Test, and total GDS-SF scores. Conclusions The incidence of falls in this study was high, and falls were associated with general health status, age, and nutritional status. In addition, using a single scale for determining the risk of falls is not appropriate, and many parameters should be included in screenings.

“…In a study conducted on the subject, it was found that 31.7% of the individuals who received home health care after intensive care were between the ages of 60-79, and 47.5% were 80 years old and above (6). In the study of Işık et al (2016), it was found that 41.5% of the patients receiving home care were between the ages of 61-80, while 30.7% were 81 years old and above (7).Also, studies in the literature report that the most common chronic diseases in individuals receiving home healthcare services are cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's, and malignancy (8,9,10).In this context, individuals who experience limitations in their daily life activities due to chronic diseases and treatment methods need nursing care (11).…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the nursing functions of home health services. Methods: The study was planned retrospectively and descriptively in a state hospital’s Home Health Care Unit. The study sample consists of all files of patients who received home health services between 16.01.2019 and 16-07.2019. Data Registration Form and Nursing Functions Evaluation Form were used in collecting the data. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to test compliance with normal distribution in data analysis, descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, t-test and Mann Whitney U test in independent groups of 2, One-way ANOVA (Post-hoc Tamhane’s T2 test if the difference between groups was significant) and Kruskal-Wallis test were used in groups of 3. Results: As a result of the data analysis, it was determined that there is a statistically significant difference between the independent, semidependent, and dependent function scores applied by nurses in patients with diabetes, recent operations, and heart failure(p
