Implementing Tai Chi Exercise in Long-Term Care to Reduce Falls.
Background: Falls are a frequent occurrence in older adults in long-term care facilities.
Local problem: At our long-term care facility, the percentage of patients who fell increased from 45% in 2021 to 68% in 2022, indicating a need for an evidence-based solution.
Methods: We used an evidence-based quality improvement framework to pilot a tai chi exercise program.
Interventions: Residents were invited to participate in the Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance program for 12 weeks. Classes were 30 minutes long and included a 5-minute warm-up and 5-minute cooldown.
Results: Seventy-five residents participated in the tai chi program. There was a significant 32.3% reduction in falls ( P =.001). Residents' fall risk scores decreased 14% ( P < .001).
Conclusions: Implementing a tai chi exercise project may affect falls and decrease the overall fall risk.
