{"title":"Fall-Related Medications and Fall Risk as Predictors of Fall-Related Hospitalization Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults.","authors":"Tamara Alibrahim, Yvonne Johnston","doi":"10.3928/00989134-20260219-02","DOIUrl":"10.3928/00989134-20260219-02","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: To examine fall-related medications and fall risk as predictors of fall-related hospitalizations among a cohort of community-dwelling older adults in the southern tier of New York State.Method: Participants comprised 8,499 patients from 14 primary care practices within a large community hospital system. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to examine associations between fall-related medications and fall risk, and their interactions as predictors of fall-related hospitalizations.Results: There was a statistically significant association between fall risk and Fall Risk Medication Score (FRMS) with a cut-point ≥6 (χ2 = 85.145, p < .001), with a weak but significant positive correlation (φ = 0.100, p < .001). Older adults who had fall risk were 1.738 times more likely to have a FRMS ≥6 (95% confidence interval [CI] [1.544, 1.956]). Similarly, there was a statistically significant association between fall risk and FRMS with a cut-point ≥10 (χ2 = 68.953, p < .001), with a weak but significant positive correlation (φ = 0.090, p < .001). Older adults who had fall risk were 2.348 times more likely to have a FRMS ≥10 (95% CI [1.909, 2.887]). In logistic regression analyses, the interaction between fall risk and FRMS was a significant predictor of hospitalization when controlling for age and sex (p < .001); however, FRMS did not significantly improve the model over fall risk alone.Conclusion: Current tools for assessing and weighing the personal, environmental, and pharmacological factors that influence the likelihood of falls among older adults could be significantly improved through larger cohort studies using significant endpoints, such as fall-related hospitalizations.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"22-32"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147306740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seven cognitively intact LTC residents with chronic wounds were interviewed using a semi-structured guide. Interviews were analyzed inductively through multiple coding cycles, consensus-building, and member checking.Results: Four interrelated themes were constructed: Lack of Independence, Confinement and Limitations, Interruptions to Daily Life, and Emotional Sequelae. Participants described physical and emotional burdens, a reliance on staff, and disruptions to routines and relationships. Despite challenges, most expressed appreciation for the wound care received in the facility.Conclusion: Chronic wounds deeply affect quality of life and identity. Clinicians should recognize the emotional and social dimensions of wound care.

Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests identified demographic factors associated with mobile health app use. Informatics experts categorized reasons for use and non-use via TAM constructs, perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU).Results: Only 27.2% of participants used mobile health apps. App use correlated with demographics and home internet accessibility, although the effect sizes were small. PU motivators included tracking health and seeking information. Barriers to PU and PEOU included lack of interest, awareness, and discomfort with technology.Conclusion: Addressing PU and PEOU is essential to improve app adoption among older adults. Nurses can enhance adoption by promoting digital literacy and supporting user-centered app design with simple navigation and larger fonts.","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":" ","pages":"11-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146086104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed thematically to identify key aspects of social support and well-being.Results: Participants highlighted the importance of family visits, peer relationships, and nursing staff support in enhancing emotional well-being. Although many reported satisfaction with their social environment, some expressed a need for more diverse recreational activities to foster social interaction.
