“…Furthermore, evaluating older individuals' knowledge deficits is the initial step to implement individualised and appropriate instruction (Ott, 2018 ). Providing FPE also enhances positive health care outcomes in older individuals (Chaudhry, 2020 ; Chidume, 2021 ). This is because they are becoming more independently sustained within their perceived quality of life to perform daily activities and live in safer environment (Minnier et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Thus, fall risk awareness and knowledge indirectly influence older individuals' decision to participate in preventive behaviour change. Contrarily, most FPE studies demonstrated fall risk scores or falls or fall injurious as the primary outcomes instead of fall risk awareness or knowledge and fall preventive behaviour (Chidume, 2021 ; Harrison, 2017 ; Hill et al, 2017 ; Kuhirunyaratn et al, 2019 ).…”

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.

“…Taking into account the evaluation of the participants regarding the project, it can be concluded that the telephone follow-ups were an important strategy for educational reinforcement, as well as an incentive for participants to carry out the proposed activities in order to improve behaviors related to the fall prevention. [14] In the case study, presented in 9) Consultation; and (10) Surveillance. [15] According to the proposed objective for carrying out the present scoping review, and the data obtained from the research carried out, the results point to: (1) customer-centric; (2) the risk of falling was determined, using its own straight or selfcompleted scales; (3) if a fall has already occurred, determine the impact it had on the individual; (4) identify available resources;…”

The aging of the population at a global level has increased in recent decades and, as a result of this process, there are several problems, such as the occurrence of falls. Thus, in order for the elderly population to have an active aging process, it is up to health professionals to train them to minimize the risks inherent to the occurrence of falls. Thus, the following question arose: "What are the interventions of the Nurse in the Prevention of Falls in the Elderly in the community?". Goal: to carry out a scoping review to identify in the literature nurses' interventions in the prevention of falls among the elderly in the community. Method: systematic review of the literature, scope review type, with a search in the CINAHL Complete and MEDLINE Complete databases on 05/10/2022. The question that defined the procedure was supported by the PCC acromion (Population -elderly; Concepts -fall prevention and nurse intervention; Context -community). The scoping review followed the PRISM-ScR guidelines. The selection criteria were: (1) the time factor; (2) the full text; (3) individuals aged 65 and over; and (4) the main subject is: accidental falls. Results: From a total of 31 articles, only 2 articles were selected. The identified nursing interventions are based on person-centered care, as well as: (1) fall risk assessment; (2) impact of the fall on the individual, if any; (3) determination of available resources and the elderly's motivation to change behaviors; (4) train the elderly in behavior modification and (5) involve the multidisciplinary team in the intervention. Conclusion: the implementation of the nursing interventions described above intend to prevent the occurrence of falls in the elderly population in the community.

“…In addition, effective fall prevention interventions should be based on older individuals’ preferences (for example, length of follow-up care), needs, and skills. Clinicians’ relation-building competencies may affect their abilities to put fall prevention knowledge into action with older adults [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Clinicians’ engagement in the intervention-tailoring process and acceptance of strategies are essential [ 20 ].…”

Practice What We Preach: Beginning a Journey to Embrace Patient-Centered Outcomes Research

Background: Patient-centered outcomes research seeks to answer patient-centered questions. The process includes varied locations and individuals throughout the care continuum to address individual differences and constraints in implementation and dissemination. Problem: This paper intends to answer this question: do academic nurses practice what they preach by assisting patient-centered outcomes research and researchers through their engagement with patients, caregivers, and other community stakeholder partners in nursing research? Approach: This paper provides an overview of how academic nurses in a single institution (the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston School of Nursing) began to embrace patient-centered outcomes research. Conclusion: Whether academic nurses are practicing what they preach in terms of patient-centered outcomes research remains uncertain. More examples from academia are required to make that determination. Academic nurses worldwide have embarked on a steep learning curve to embrace patient-centered outcomes research. This journey will require patience and a systematic strategy.
