520 $a The purpose of this study was to examine nurses' attitudes/perceptions in regard to elder falls and their knowledge of fall prevention measures, prior to and post implementation of a fall prevention education program.
520 $a Falls are a number one cause of injury among elderly persons. This has been a tremendous concern for long-term care administrators and nurses. There have been many studies done looking at factors associated with falling among elderly persons. However, this project entailed the implementation of a nursing education program for staff in the long-term care setting, and the development of an instrument to assess nurses' attitudes/perceptions, as well as knowledge.
520 $a A quasi-experimental pre-post test design was used. The instrument was pilot-tested in long-term care settings. However, due to unforeseeable circumstances, the original plan to collect data in that setting had to be altered. Four groups of vocational nursing students were randomly assigned to the control groups (n=59) and the experimental group (n=56), for a total of 115 participants. Participants included those vocational nursing students present on the day of the program. Three hypotheses were tested, using ANCOVA and multiple regression techniques.
520 $a The findings show that there were significant differences between post-test scores of the experimental and control groups for both attitudes and knowledge with regard to fall prevention in the long-term care setting. Background variables were not significant in relation to attitudes. However, three background variables were significant in relation to knowledge.
520 $a This study and its application of fall prevention education training of nursing staff in the long-term care setting has practical implications for administrators, nurse educators, and nursing staff. The incorporation of fall prevention techniques in the long-term care setting by these key individuals can help to ensure a safe environment for elderly persons.
520 $a Educational opportunities may improve staff attitudes/perceptions and nursing practice in reducing the risk of elderly persons experiencing falls. Further research that explores the educational means of reducing falls in long-term care settings is recommended.
