Abstract

A fall is an event that causes a person to suddenly lie down accidentally on the ground or floor or lower level. This condition is often experienced by 1 in 3 elderly people every year. Falls can be caused by behavioral, biological, environmental and socio-economic risk factors. Nurses can make efforts to reduce the risk of falls in the elderly through education for the elderly and their families. This study aims to determine the extent of the influence of fall prevention education for the elderly using booklets on the knowledge of the elderly in the family context. This study used a quasi-experiment, two group pretest posttest, education was carried out using a fall prevention booklet for the elderly in the intervention group and without a booklet in the control group. Through the purposive sampling method using inclusion criteria, 60 respondents were obtained, consisting of 30 respondents in the intervention group and 30 respondents in the control group, with 6 interactions carried out. The results of research using the independent sample t test showed that there was a difference in the average posttest value of fall prevention knowledge between the group that received education using booklets and the group that received education without using booklets with a p-value of 0.000. The conclusion of the research is that educational interventions in nursing practice using booklet media in preventing falls in the elderly can increase client and family understanding compared to without using booklet media. The suggestion is to create an attractive media booklet containing concise information and attractive images to obtain optimal client understanding.
