Abstract

<p>【Objective】The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of fall prevention and interprofessional work (IPW) on consciousness change by performing an intervention using the “fall prevention collaboration program” for nurses and care staff at a geriatric health services facility.</p><p>【Methods】Participants were allocated into the intervention and control (i.e., normal fall prevention care) groups by ward (n=24 and n=36, respectively). Outcomes were compared between the two groups. The primary outcomes were changes in awareness concerning fall prevention and IPW, and secondary outcomes were measures of team process and team orientation. The protocol for the program was as follows: 1) create a team with interprofessional members, 2) clarify objectives, 3) develop teaching materials on fall prevention, IPW, and interprofessional education (IPE), hold a study session, 4) clarify the task, 5) suggest a solution, 6) establish consultation services, 7) draw up and implement fall prevention intervention plans, and 8) review systems when a fall incident occurs. Data were collected by the questionnaire method before and after the intervention conducted between December 2011 and February 2012.</p><p>【Results】Compared to the control group, the intervention group had a significantly higher proportion of participants who recognized improvements in the following items: ‘increased knowledge,’ ‘specific and accurate judgment,’ and ‘appropriate practice’ for changes in awareness of fall prevention, and ‘increased communication,’ ‘increased verbal messages concerning fall prevention,’ and ‘feasibility of awareness sharing concerning fall prevention’ for changes in awareness of IPW. Moreover, the intervention group showed significantly higher changes in the “knowledge and information sharing” item of the team process measure. No significant difference was observed between the two groups in the team orientation measure.</p><p>【Conclusions】This study suggested the effectiveness of our program in changing awareness of fall prevention and IPW among nurses and care staff at a geriatric health services facility.</p>
