Factors Influencing the Implementation of a Fall Prevention Exercise Program for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Qualitative Study Guided by the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model.

Purpose: Multiple falls preventions exercise programs have been rolled out globally, however, few studies have explored the factors necessary for their implementation. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the implementation of "Steady Feet" (SF), a 12-week community fall prevention exercise intervention, for older adults living in Singapore.

Material And Methods: This study utilized purposive sampling to recruit two participant groups: (i) older adults who declined or withdrew from the program and (ii) providers of the program (eg, instructors).

The Clinical and Cost-Effectiveness of an Individualized Nutritional CAre (INCA) Bundle versus Standard Care for Adults with Pressure Injuries Receiving Home Nursing Services: A Protocol for a Cluster Randomized and Pragmatic Clinical Trial with an Economic Evaluation.

Background: Pressure injuries (PIs) represent a significant healthcare challenge in Singapore among the aging population. These injuries contribute to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare expenditure. Existing research predominantly explores single-component interventions in hospital environments, often yielding limited success.

Group Model Building on causes and interventions for falls in Singapore: insights from a systems thinking approach.

Background: Falls in older adults are the result of a complex web of interacting causes, that further results in other physical, emotional, and psychological sequelae. A conceptual framework that represents the reciprocal dynamics of these causal factors can enable clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to clarify goals in falls intervention in older adults.

Methods: A Group Model Building (GMB) exercise was conducted with researchers and clinicians from academic units and public healthcare institutes in Singapore.

Reducing Falls Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults From Clinicians' Perspectives: A Systems Modeling Approach.

Background And Objectives: Falls among older adults are a significant health problem globally. Studies of multicomponent fall prevention programs in randomized controlled trials demonstrate effectiveness in reducing falls; however, the translation of research into the community remains challenging. Although there is an increasing interest to understand the factors contributing to implementation barriers, the dynamic relationships between factors are less well examined.

A community-based single fall prevention exercise intervention for older adults (STEADY FEET): Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Falls and fall-related injuries in older adults are a leading cause of disability and death. Evidence has shown the benefits of exercises in improving functional outcomes and reducing fall rates among community-dwelling older adults. However, there is lack of effective community-based single exercise intervention for a broad population of older adults who are at high risk for falls.

Perspectives on frailty screening, management and its implementation among acute care providers in Singapore: a qualitative study.

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has reminded how older adults with frailty are particularly exposed to adverse outcomes. In the acute care setting, consideration of evidence-based practice related to frailty screening and management is needed to improve the care provided to aging populations. It is important to assess for frailty in acute care so as to establish treatment priorities and goals for the individual.
