Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of fall-related knowledge and fall prevention self-efficacy of care-givers working in long-term care hospitals on fall prevention behaviors and fall management behaviors for older adults with dementia.
Methods: Participants were 125 care-givers working in long-term care hospitals. Data were collected with structured questionnaires from August 7 to 14, 2018. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 18.0.
Results: Fall prevention self-efficacy influence fall prevention behaviors(β=.55, p<.001), while fall-related knowledge impacted fall management behaviors(β=.43, p<.001).
Conclusions: The results suggest that an education program for fall prevention of older adults with dementia in long-term care hospitals should focus on improving the fall-related knowledge and fall prevention self-efficacy of care-givers to increase both the fall prevention behaviors and fall management behaviors of care-givers.
