摘要

尽管基于证据的项目在许多社区预防跌倒方面很有效,但由于缺乏提供者和培训人员,生活在服务不足地区的老年人无法获得这些服务。在这项横断面研究中,采用多机构方法将基于证据的项目“平衡问题”(a Matter of Balance, AMOB)纳入一所农村大学的公共卫生课程。我们评估了参加AMOB项目的学生的学习情况以及预防跌倒的社区效益。84%的学生表示,他们打算在未来的职业生涯中使用AMOB培训。学生(n = 25)提供的“课堂培训”和“社区培训”有效性项目的平均值在李克特量表(1 =非常不同意到5 =非常同意)上分别为3.52至4.32和3.48至4.36。参加预防跌倒社区研讨会的老年人在减少跌倒、保护自己不跌倒和训练后变得更稳定方面表现出更大的信心(p <0.05)。我们的研究证明了在大学课程中整合AMOB等循证项目的价值,以解决与跌倒相关的农村健康差异。

Empowering Older Adults in Underserved Communities—An Innovative Approach to Increase Public Health Capacity for Fall Prevention
Although evidence-based programs have been effective for fall prevention in many communities, older adults living in underserved areas cannot access these services due to the shortage of providers and trainers. In this cross-sectional study, a multi-agency approach was adopted for integrating an evidence-based program, A Matter of Balance (AMOB), into the public health curriculum at a rurally placed university. We assessed student learning as well as the community benefits of fall prevention among those who participated in the AMOB program. Eighty-four percent of the students reported intentions of using AMOB training in their future careers. The average of the items for the effectiveness of “Classroom Training” and “Community Training” provided by the students (n = 25) ranged from 3.52 to 4.32 and 3.48 to 4.36, on a Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree), respectively. Older adults who participated in the fall prevention community workshops showed increased confidence in reducing falls, protecting themselves from falling, and becoming steadier on their feet after the training (p < 0.05). Our study demonstrates the value of integrating evidence-based programs such as AMOB in a university curriculum to address rural health disparities related to falls.
