Issue Date: | 17-Sep-2019 | Publication information: | BMJ Open 2019, vol. 9 | Abstract: | Falls prevention in hospitals is an ongoing challenge worldwide. Despite a wide variety of recommended falls mitigation strategies, few have strong evidence for effectiveness in reducing falls and accompanying injuries. Patient education programmes that promote engagement and enable people to understand their heightened falls risk while hospitalised are one approach. The aim of this scoping review is to examine the content, design and outcomes of patient education approaches to hospital falls prevention. As well as critiquing the role of patient education in hospital falls prevention, strategies that can be used in clinical practice shall be recommended. | Description: | This is an open access article distributed in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, which permits others to distribute, remix, adapt, build upon this work non-commercially, and license their derivative works on different terms, provided the original work is properly cited, appropriate credit is given, any changes made indicated, and the use is non-commercial. | URI: | https://holmesglen.intersearch.com.au/holmesglencrisjspui/handle/20.500.11800/166 | DOI: | 10.1136/bmjopen-2019-030952 | Journal Title: | BMJ Open | Type: | Journal Article | Affiliates: | Holmesglen Institute La Trobe Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine Research, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria, Australia Healthscope and Faculty of Health Science, Youth and Community Studies, Holmesglen Institute Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science, Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, Australia North Eastern Rehabilitation Centre, Healthscope Ltd, Ivanhoe, Victoria, Australia |
