“…Bununla birlikte komorbidite ve polifarmasinin de yapılmış çalışmalarda düşmeler için yüksek risk bildirilmesine karşın bu çalışmada düşme riskine etkisi olmadığı görülmüştür (13,24). Choi ve arkadaşlarının (2020) çalışması da bu çalışmaya benzer şekilde düşme deneyimleyenlerde polifarmasinin etkisi olmadığını bildirmişlerdir (29). Bu çalışmadaki yaşlı bireylerin tamamının en az bir hastalığa sahip olduğu ve en az bir ilaç kullandığı göz önüne alındığında aslında sayıdan bağımsız olarak grupların orta ve yüksek düşme riskli olduğu görülmektedir.…”

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı geriatri kliniğinde tedavi gören 65 yaş ve üzeri yaşlı bireylerin günlük yaşam aktivite durumu ile düşme riski arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmanın yöntemi tanımlayıcı, kesitsel ve ilişkisel olup örneklemini dâhil edilme kriterlerine uyan ve bir geriatri kliniğinde tedavi gören 65 yaş üzerindeki 96 yaşlı birey oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak literatüre dayanarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulmuş 11 soruluk “Birey Tanılama Formu”, “Katz Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri (GYA) Ölçeği” ve “Mors Düşme Riski Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 75,17±7,06, %64,6 kadın, %47,9’u fazla kilolu, tümünde en az bir kronik hastalık ve düzenli ilaç kullanımı mevcuttur. Yaşlı bireylerin KATZ GYA ölçeği puan ortalaması 2,14±2,36; %58,3’ü bağımlıdır. Morse düşme ölçeği puan ortalaması 49,11±24,80 ve %34,4’ü yüksek risk grubundadır. Cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, medeni durum, çalışma durumu, sigara ve alkol kullanımı ve polifarmasi gibi değişkenlerle günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ve düşme riski ile anlamlı fark bulunurken (p

“…Falls are a common and serious problem for people with intellectual disabilities, with 25%–40% experiencing at least one fall per year (Brenner et al, 2014; Choi et al, 2020; Finlayson et al, 2010; Petropoulou et al, 2017; Public Health England, 2019). The Prevention of Falls Network Europe (ProFANE) define a fall as ‘an inadvertent occurrence from a person falling to the floor… or some other lower level…’ (Lamb et al, 2005).…”

“…This population may also require more specialist care after a fall compared to the general population (Axmon et al, 2018). Significantly, falls are a leading cause of death from unintentional injuries among people with intellectual disabilities (Choi et al, 2020). This evidence demonstrates the need for falls‐prevention guidance and interventions for this high risk population group.…”

Background Falls are common among people with intellectual disabilities. Many falls happen within the home. Our scoping review aimed to identify evidence for falls‐risk factors and falls‐prevention interventions for this population. Method We conducted a multi‐database search to identify any type of published study that explored falls‐risk factors or falls‐prevention interventions for people with intellectual disabilities. Following a process of (i) title & abstract and (ii) full‐text screening, data was extracted from the included studies and described narratively. Results Forty‐one studies were included. Risks are multifactorial. There was limited evidence of medical, behavioural/psychological, or environmental interventions to address modifiable risk factors, and no evidence of the interventions' cost‐effectiveness. Conclusions Clinically and cost effective, acceptable and accessible falls‐prevention pathways should be available for people with intellectual disabilities who are at risk of falls from an earlier age than the general population.

“…fall efficacy and self-efficacy for activity), which are significant components of SCT, are essential in preventing fall events and promoting exercise in adults with ID (Van Schijndel-Speet et al 2014;Arkkukangas et al 2021). There is evidence that increased self-efficacy for exercise and social support are associated with higher exercise participation and a lower risk of fall events among adults with ID (Van Schijndel-Speet et al 2014;Choi et al 2020). Also, low fall efficacy is strongly associated with decreased physical fitness and a higher number of falls (Jeoung 2015;Lin et al 2022).…”

Background Adults with intellectual disability (ID) have a higher rate of fall events than the general population. Consequently, interventions for reducing fall events and improving health are highly required for individuals with ID. One essential step towards effectively delivering fall prevention interventions among adults with ID involves evaluating their feasibility. This study examined the feasibility of a home‐based exercise intervention, supplemented with behavioural change strategies, among individuals with ID living in residential settings. Method This study provided an 8‐week intervention, consisting of a workshop for support workers and sessions for participants with ID, focusing on behavioural reward/s, education regarding fall prevention/exercise and exercise training. One week prior to and 1 week following such an intervention, such participants underwent measurements for (1) physical performance, (2) fall efficacy, (3) self‐efficacy for activity and (4) social support. Results Participants having ID (n = 33), support workers (n = 11) and one administrator participated in this study. There were no adverse events during the intervention, and the mean adherence rate was 70.8 ± 19.5%. Two participants with ID dropped out of the programme due to a lack of interest. The participants with ID significantly improved individual physical performance, self‐efficacy for activity, fall efficacy and support from friends and support workers. Conclusions Fall prevention interventions for adults with ID living in group‐homes were highly promising for eventual large‐scale implementation within such communities.
