Interventions to prevent in‐hospital falls in older people with cognitive impairment for further research: A mixed studies review

Abstract: Background While advances in falls prevention in the adult population have occurred, the care requirements for older patients with cognitive impairment at risk of falling are less established. Objectives To identify interventions to prevent in‐hospital falls in older patients with cognitive impairment for further research and describe the strategies used to implement those interventions. Design A seven‐stage mixed studies review was used. Methods Seven electronic databases were searched. The SPIDER framework g… Show more
