Facilitators and barriers in the implementation of a fall prevention program based on physical activity for elderly people living in the community: A qualitative study
To increase participation and adherence to exercise programs, it is necessary to consider the important role of the nursing professionals that recommend program enrolment and the participants' personal motivations. The program with group sessions is a model that is easy to integrate into Primary Healthcare centers, which must always take into account the preferences and physical conditions of the participants.
