Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 12 (December 2017) . - p. 735-744 Titre : Evaluation of a web-based app to assist home-hazard modification in falls prevention Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gillian Ward ; Aimee Walker-Clarke ; Nikki Holliday Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 735-744 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ergothérapie  prévention  chute  personne âgée  domicile Résumé : Introduction Given the impact falls can have on older people and their families, many health and social care services are focused on preventing falls and implementing interventions to reduce future falls. FallCheck is a web app that supports identification of home-hazards and directs users towards self-management strategies to reduce risk of falling. Method A survey by clinical experts of a beta version of FallCheck was conducted, producing quantitative and qualitative data including issues and attributes identified by respondents. Thirty-six individuals signed up to take part in the study, and 27 respondents took part in the final evaluation survey. Findings Testing by health and social care professionals found there is scope for using the app as a digital self-assessment tool by people at risk of falls. It has further potential as an effective tool to support environmental/behavioural change to reduce risk of falls. Conclusion FallCheck was developed from a sound evidence-base to support home-hazard modification as an effective intervention component within a multifactorial intervention to prevent falls. Health and social care professionals found it had good acceptability for use in practice, justifying further testing of the usability and effectiveness of the app in supporting behavioural changes and environmental modifications with people at risk of falling and carers.
