Fall Prevention in Older Adult Populations

Fall is a fatal event caused by the integration of internal and external factors, and elderly people are prone to accidents (Naqvi et al., 2009). Frequency of hospitalization due to falls in Australia, Canada, UK, Northern Ireland is 6 to 0 per 10,000 people (WHO 2012). The elderly 's main position in a fall in an emergency medical environment is greatly different, and as the age rises or weakens, the risk of falls increases. Young people and adults are affected as well, but elderly people are more likely to get injured than young people (Boltz et al.

As the aging and aging of the population progresses, I decided to investigate how home health nurses use risk assessment tools to prevent falls. About 9,500 Americans die each year. Elderly people accounted for 75% of deaths. Since most elderly people spend almost all of their time at home, half to two thirds of all falls occur at home or in their vicinity. As the population ages, demands on medical services, especially for the elderly, will increase. According to my past three years work at a nursing home, I witnessed many deceased residents. Waterfall greatly affects the elderly and decreases the quality of life. Working with elderly people gives us motivation to continue working with elderly patients as older nurses. Helping and assisting the elderly to complete their daily work is very beneficial to me.

Most companies targeting elderly people focus only on a few basic needs, especially health, safety and finance. Yes, there are many healthcare, pharmaceutical and financial companies that offer services to the elderly, but more than 50 people are not only trying to protect their money and stay alive. Joseph Coughlin is undoubtedly a major expert in the elderly population of the world. He is the founder of Massachusetts Institute of Technology AgeLab and is designed to understand the behavior of more than 50 people, the role of technology and design in their lives, and opportunities for innovation to improve the elderly .
