Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of precision health care interventions on inpatients in acute medical institutions regarding their risk of falls, management, and prevention knowledge, as well as the incidence of falls among these patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the effectiveness of precision health care interventions on inpatients' knowledge of fall risk in acute medical institutions? What is the effectiveness of precision health care interventions on inpatients' knowledge of fall management in acute medical institutions? What is the effectiveness of precision health care interventions on inpatients' knowledge of fall prevention in acute medical institutions?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• inpatients' knowledge of fall risk in acute medical institutions

  Fall Risk Assessment Scale: Knowledge related to fall risk is a self-compiled questionnaire with a total of 5 questions. The estimated test time is 3 to 5 minutes. Answer with true or false questions, each question is worth 20 points, and the score ranges from 0 to 100 points. The higher the score, the better the knowledge level.

  discharge day (assessed up to 1 days)

• inpatients' knowledge of fall management in acute medical institutions

  Fall Prevention Self-health Management Scale: The knowledge related to fall prevention and self-health management is a self-constructed questionnaire with a total of 5 questions. The estimated test time is 3 to 5 minutes. Answer with true or false questions, each question is worth 20 points, and the score ranges from 0 to 100 points. The higher the score, the better the knowledge level.

  discharge day (assessed up to 1 days)

• inpatients' knowledge of fall prevention in acute medical institutions

  Fall Prevention Scale Knowledge related to fall prevention is a self-constructed questionnaire with a total of 5 questions. Answer with true or false questions, each question is worth 20 points, and the score ranges from 0 to 100 points. The higher the score, the better the knowledge level.

  discharge day (assessed up to 1 days)

Study Arms (2)

Device: Oral Explanation of Paper-Based Health Education

NO INTERVENTION

Before the patient is discharged from the hospital, the nurse orally informs the patient about the precautions for preventing falls after discharge using a discharge health education leaflet.

Device: Multimedia Video Health Education on Fall Prevention

EXPERIMENTAL

Multimedia audio-visual health education tools: Taking fall risk factors, self-health management and fall prevention measures as the main teaching plan, investigators produce multimedia digital audio-visual teaching materials in Chinese version for adults, Chinese version for children, and English version for adults, with built-in AI patented artificial intelligence automatic dubbing, and matching Chinese or English subtitles and lively 3D virtual lecturers are presented on the screen to explain the course, and pictures, physical photos, short videos, etc. are used as the main content, allowing viewers to quickly and conveniently grasp the key points and absorb knowledge.

Other: Health education strategy

Interventions

Health education strategy OTHER

Based on the concept of precise health care, investigators design risk awareness, self-health management and fall prevention care measures, and provide inpatients with high-risk groups with frailty and falls with health education guidance on muscle endurance training and fall prevention. This study adopts purposive sampling, randomization, assignment, and parallel experiments to divide into a control group and an experimental group. The control group uses conventional health education guidance to provide fall prevention education, and the experimental group uses multimedia health education videos to provide education to patients or primary caregivers. Provide health education on the risk, management and prevention of falls.
