Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the influence of fall risk, fear of falling, and social support on older inpatients’ fall prevention behaviors.
Methods: The participants were 105 older inpatients. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS program.
Results: The mean fall risk, fear of falling, social support, and all prevention behaviors were 58.05±28.27, 2.47±0.67, 3.58±0.63, and 2.93±0.48, respectively. There were significant differences in fall prevention behaviors by sex, and fall related to education experience. Fall prevention behaviors were associated with fall risk, and fear of falling. The factors influencing the fall prevention behaviors of the older inpatients were sex, fall related to educational experience, fall risk, and fear of falling. It was found that 21% could explain fall prevention behaviors.
Conclusion: The results indicate a need to develop a fall prevention education program, including intervention, to reduce the fear of falling among older inpatients.
