Introduction: In good organizational practice, health professionals should be
provided with training programs for fall prevention.
Aims: To evaluate the impact of an educational program for nurses on the prevention
of falls in the elderly population in a community context.
Method: This study supports the intervention phase of an Action-Research
investigation. Was implemented a training program, with two steps: sensitization
(S) and formation (F) held in a group of North Health Centers of Portugal. In
the S step, 154 professionals from different areas participated. In the F step, 67
nurses participated. The S step occurred between February and March of 2017.
The satisfaction of the training was assesseded. The F step enrolled five sessions,
performed between May and June 2017. The target group of this stage were only
nurses. In addition to the assessment of training satisfaction, a questionnaire was
useded (pre-test).
We used descriptive analysis and comparison of means using the IBM SPSS 25.0
software. The Ethics Committee for North Health centers (nº 97/2014) approved
the study.
Results: In the S step, were represented all the professional areas, but the physicians
(43.8%) were more representative. In F step, the sample of nurses is mostly
female (80.6%), with an age between 32-60 years. The professional activity years
of nurses vary between 8 and 36 years. In the overall assessment of training
satisfaction, it was verified that the training dimension (mean 3.71 and mean 3.67),
respectively in sessions 3 and 5, was the most valued.
Conclusion: The program revealed improvement in nurses’ knowledge.
