    A Randomized Control Trial for a Comprehensive Fall Prevention Model for Self-Supporting Older Adults (PM-ACTIVAS): A Study Protocol
    (Gavin Publishers, 2023) Márquez Doren, Francisca; Alcayaga Rojas, Claudia Andrea; Bustamante Troncoso, Claudia Raquel; Ibarra Torres, Ignacio Gabriel; Lucchini Raies, Camila
    Falls among older adults are a major global public health issue. This study protocol for a two-arm randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate a comprehensive model based on house calls oriented towards fall prevention. A sample of 220 high-functioning older adults assigned to the intervention group (n = 110) will receive house calls and educational interventions, and the control group (n = 110) will receive standard care. Fall risk factors, fall risk perception, and fall frequency will be measured. Participants will receive a ‘Falling Prevention Kit’ and ‘Fall and Events Calendar’. If the distribution of results is normal, differences between groups will be verified by Mann–Whitney U and Chi-square tests. The differences between measurements will be estimated using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. A significance value of p<0.05 will be accepted. If tests for normal distribution are negative, statistical tests for non-normally distributed variables will be performed. This study will produce an original, comprehensive intervention addressing contextual and environmental factors to prevent falls among older adults. Based on new evidence, the program evaluation and feasibility study will help advance the practice of nurses, physicians, and other health care professionals
