“…Despite that, theoretical principles supported the relationship of knowledge to behaviour change as demonstrated in numerous studies (Miller, 2010;Ott, 2018;Punlomso et al, 2020). Using an interactive and familiar activity to conduct FPE may increase the likelihood of older individuals' behaviour participation in the prevention process and learning (Flint et al, 2020). According to Kiyoshi-Teo et al (2020), older individuals are keen to participate in fall prevention behaviour if they perceived that their fall risk is modifiable.…”

“…Promoting fall risk awareness and knowledge will enhance their attention about their potential for falls, encourage them to analyse their current situation at risk of falls and possibly apply or engage in behaviour or lifestyle changes (Flint et al, 2020 ; Kiegaldie & Farlie, 2019 ). Thus, fall risk awareness and knowledge indirectly influence older individuals' decision to participate in preventive behaviour change.…”

Objectives This review aims to identify types of the existing fall prevention education (FPE) and their effectiveness in promoting fall risk awareness, knowledge and preventive fall behaviour change among community‐dwelling older people. Background FPE is a cost‐effective and helpful tool for reducing fall occurrences. Evaluation This is a systematic review study using electronic searches via EBSCOHost® platform, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Google Scholar in March 2021. The review protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021232102). The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement flow chart guided the search strategy. Articles published from January 2010 to March 2021 were included for quality appraisal using the ‘Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Non‐randomised Designs’ (TREND) and the ‘Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials’ (CONSORT) statement for randomised controlled trial studies. Key issues Six FPE studies selected emphasised on personal health status, exercise and environmental risk factors. These studies reported an increase in fall risk awareness or knowledge and a positive change in fall preventive behaviours. Two studies included nurses as educators in FPE. Conclusion FPE evidently improved awareness or knowledge and preventive fall behaviour change among older adults. Nurses are in great potential in planning and providing FPE for older adults in community settings. Implications for Nursing Management Expand nurses' roles in fall prevention programmes in community settings by using high‐quality and evidence‐based educational tools. Highlight the nurse's role and collaborative management in FPE.

BackgroundFalls are the leading cause of injury, disability, premature institutionalization, and injury‐related mortality among older adults. Home hazard removal can effectively reduce falls in this population but is not implemented as standard practice. This study translated an evidence‐based home hazard removal program (HARP) for delivery in low‐income senior apartments to test whether the intervention would work in the “real world.”MethodsFrom May 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020, a stepped‐wedge cluster‐randomized trial was used to implement the evidence‐based HARP among residents with high fall risk in 11 low‐income senior apartment buildings. Five clusters of buildings were randomly assigned an intervention allocation sequence. Three‐level negative‐binomial models (repeated measures nested within individuals, individuals nested within buildings) were used to compare fall rates between treatment and control conditions (excluding a crossover period), controlling for demographic characteristics, fall risk, and time period.ResultsAmong 656 residents, 548 agreed to screening, 435 were eligible (high fall risk), and 291 agreed to participate and received HARP. Participants were, on average, 72 years, 67% female, and 76% Black. Approximately 95.4% of fall prevention strategies and modifications implemented were still used 3 months later. The fall rate (per 1000 participant‐days) was 4.87 during the control period and 4.31 during the posttreatment period. After adjusting for covariates and secular trend, there was no significant difference in fall rate (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.97, 95% CI 0.66–1.42). After excluding data collected during a hiatus in the intervention due to COVID‐19, the reduction in fall rate was not significant (IRR 0.93, 95% CI 0.62–1.40).ConclusionsAlthough HARP did not significantly reduce the rate of falls, this pragmatic study showed that the program was feasible to deliver in low‐income senior housing and was acceptable among residents. There was effective collaboration between researchers and community agency staff.

“…Finally, a distinct group of health researchers used non-gambling bingo as a tool, harnessing its familiarity and accessibility, and adapting its form, to educate older people about falls prevention (Flint et al, 2020), vulnerable people about concussion (Wallace et al, 2019), children with autism about verbal communication (La Londe et al, 2020) and health professionals about workplace processes (Brown, 2020;Shaw & Ouchida, 2020). It was integrated into stroke recovery to establish that patients needed cognitive stimulation as well as physical therapy (Bray et al, 2019) and used as a site for health interventions (Evans et al, 2017).…”

Bingo is a distinct, enduring but understudied form of gambling. It provides comfort and pleasure to many of its players while also causing harm to some. While traditionally seen as low harm, it is being reshaped by technological and regulatory change. Despite this, there is no recent overview of the literature on bingo. This narrative review seeks to fill this gap by exploring the development of literature on bingo since the 1980s, first providing a chronological overview of writing on bingo and then a brief account of major themes in the literature. The literature reviewed was primarily identified through searches of academic databases using search terms such as betting, bingo, electronic and gambling. We find that bingo research makes a number of important contributions: it allows better understanding of groups of overlooked gamblers, corrects biases in gambling literature, highlights the importance of social and structural factors in understanding gambling and employs methodological approaches that are congruent with the people and practices being studied. Additionally, it provides new perspectives on gambling in terms of skill, affect, harm and control and offers a distinct viewpoint to analyse gambling and other phenomena.
