摘要

背景：使用轮椅时跌倒会给使用者带来严重后果。目的：本研究旨在调查轮椅类型、日常运动以及与轮椅使用者对跌倒的担忧相关的环境因素。方法：对 52 名轮椅使用者（36 名男性和 16 名女性，平均年龄为 44.3 ± 10 岁）进行了在线访谈，他们回答了有关轮椅特点、使用轮椅时的经历和对跌倒的担忧等问题。结果：调查发现，在使用轮椅时最担心摔倒的是硬架轮椅，以及在人行道和坡道上移动等活动。半数样本报告称，他们没有接受过轮椅使用方面的培训，并对进行轮椅操作表示担忧。据报告，轮椅故障导致的跌倒与对跌倒的担忧增加有关。结论：本研究的结果表明，轮椅类型、日常动作和环境都会影响轮椅使用者对跌倒的担忧。

A study of wheelchair, movement and environmental factors associated with concerns about falls among wheelchairs users

BACKGROUND: Falls when using wheelchairs can have serious consequences for users. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate wheelchair types, daily movement and environmental factors associated with concerns about falls among wheelchair users. METHODS: Fifty-two wheelchair users (36 male and 16 female, mean age of 44.3 ± 10 years) were interviewed online and responded to questions about the characteristics of their wheelchair, their experiences and concerns about falling while using their wheelchair. RESULTS: It was found that the highest levels of concern about falling when using wheelchairs were associated with the use of rigid frame wheelchairs; and with activities such as moving on sidewalks and ramps. Half of the sample reported that they did not receive training on wheelchair usage and had concerns about performing wheelie maneuvers. Reported falls caused by wheelchair failure were associated with increased concerns about falls. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study suggest that wheelchair type, daily movements and environments all influence wheelchair users’ concerns about falls.
