Effectiveness of HAPA-based multidomain fall risk management for older adults with declining intrinsic capacity in nursing homes: protocol of a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Accidental falls are a common geriatric syndrome that hinders healthy ageing in older adults. Older adults who live in nursing homes (NHs) are at a greater risk of accidental falls than those who reside in communities. Intrinsic capacity (IC) decline has been shown to be an independent influencing factor for fall risk. Moreover, healthy behaviour is a prerequisite for IC. Therefore, this study considers IC as a starting point, with an aim of developing, implementing and evaluating a low-administration-cost multidomain fall risk management intervention programme based on the Health Action Process Approach.

Methods and analysis

The target population includes older adults with declining IC in Chinese NHs. A random lottery method will be adopted to divide the 100 pa
