Abstract

The impact of a patient fall can have serious consequences for the patient, the family, and the healthcare institution. More than half of patient falls are considered preventable. This article reflects the outcomes of a quasi-experimental study to determine the effectiveness of a fall awareness and education program in an acute care setting. Staff development educators working in acute care settings may find the strategies useful in addressing the issue of falls in their own institutions.
