The study's findings demonstrate the complexity and diversity of older persons' fall experiences. To effectively prevent falls, individualized intervention systems and fall prevention strategies must consider individual differences in risk perception, incorporate environmental hazard identification and multifaceted interventions, and concurrently concentrate on fall prevention, response guidance during falls, physical and mental rehabilitation following falls, and the establishment of subsequent scientific preventive behaviors.

Abstract

The study's findings demonstrate the complexity and diversity of older persons' fall experiences. To effectively prevent falls, individualized intervention systems and fall prevention strategies must consider individual differences in risk perception, incorporate environmental hazard identification and multifaceted interventions, and concurrently concentrate on fall prevention, response guidance during falls, physical and mental rehabilitation following falls, and the establishment of subsequent scientific preventive behaviors.
