"Falls prevention among older people and care providers: protocol for an integrative review".

Aim: To review the evidence about the role of care providers in fall prevention in older adults aged ≥ 65 years, this includes their views, strategies, and approaches on falls prevention and effectiveness of nursing interventions.

Background: Some fall prevention programmes are successfully implemented and led by nurses and it is acknowledged the vital role they play in developing plans for fall prevention. Nevertheless, there has not been a systematic review of the literature that describes this role and care providers' views on fall's prevention initiatives.

Pilot study of a preventive multicomponent nurse intervention to reduce the incidence and severity of delirium in hospitalized older adults: MID-Nurse-P.

Background: Although multicomponent interventions are the gold standard for delirium management, few nurse-led interventions in Acute Geriatric Units (AGU) are described.

Objectives: To analyze if a preventive multicomponent non-pharmacologic nurse-led intervention randomized clinical trial (MID-Nurse Study) is feasible (pilot study), and can reduce the incidence, duration, and severity of delirium in hospitalized older adults in an AGU.

Design: Parallel-group double-blind randomized clinical trial (pilot Study).

Frailty and mortality or incident disability in institutionalized older adults: the FINAL study.

Background: Little is known about frailty in institutionalized older adults, and there are few longitudinal studies on this topic.

Objectives: To determine the association between frailty and mortality or incident disability in basic activities of daily living (BADL) in institutionalized Spanish older adults.

Design: Concurrent cohort study.

Frailty in INstitutionalized older adults from ALbacete. The FINAL Study: rationale, design, methodology, prevalence and attributes.

Background: Little is known about frailty in institutionalized older adults, and there are few longitudinal studies on this topic.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and attributes of frailty in institutionalized Spanish older adults.

[Frailty and dependence in Albacete (FRADEA study): reasoning, design and methodology].

Objective: To obtain a cohort of subjects of equal to or greater than 70 years, representative of a Spanish urban population, to estimate the prevalence of frailty and follow it up over time to analyse associated factors.

Material And Methods: A prospective, population-based cohort study. From a population of 18,137 elderly persons, a representative sample of 1172 was randomly stratified, of which 993 (84.
