Nurse-led fall prevention programs in acute care settings: An integrative review
This integrative review highlights the critical role of nurse-led interventions in reducing inpatient falls within acute care settings. Analyzing the key features of these prevention strategies may enable future researchers to enhance and recommend employing multiple intervention strategies for more effective methods for minimizing fall incidents in such environments. Using a single fall prevention strategy demonstrated lower effectiveness than the multiple strategies.
