Chinese Version of LIVE-LiFE for Older Adults With Previous Falls

The research is to solve the problem of the high incidence of falls among older adults in China. To this end, the investigators will develop a multi-dimensional fall prevention program by cultivating nursing students as community intervention personnel to address the current shortage of fall prevention programs and professional intervention in China. The research will make an important contribution to health care.

The study intervention group is a 12-week multi-dimensional intervention, consisting of four parts: individualized balance and strength training, vision screening, drug evaluation, home risk assessment and home repair and transformation. Interventors will teach skills related to balance and strength training, incorporate these principles and exercises into daily and leisure activities, and how to increase the challenge of balance. The one-hour home visit aims to develop a personalized plan for participants by understanding each participant's health, exercise preferences, sedentary behaviors, and identifying needs related to the risk of falling. In particular, the interventionist will work with the participant to determine 6 skills or activities, and the participant hopes to practice ankle weight bearing at least 3 times a week based on their interests and abilities. Interventions and participants will work together to develop personal goals and plans, using exercise logs for gradual exercise, to continuously increase strength, resistance, weight, and challenge balance or strength. During home visits, the intervener will also assess participants' inherent risks by assessing their visual acuity, assess their home risk factors, and discuss with their caregiver or their children what risks would arise if the elderly live alone. In addition to group meetings and home visits, the interventionists will call to ask about progress and provide support and encouragement. Participants in the control group will receive the same amount of health education。
