Fear of falling and its related factors in the older adults with heart failure
Fear of falling as one of the factors inhibiting the activities of daily living causes disability and dependence in the elderly with heart failure. This study aimed to determine the fear of falling among elderly with heart failure and its related factors. This descriptive correlational study was performed on 445 elderly patients with heart failure. Participants were randomly selected. Demographic information and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) questionnaires were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using STATA 14. The mean fear of falling among participants was 36.7 (ST=0.27 and CI: 95%). The level of fear of falling was moderate in 61% of participants. Fear of falling had no statistically significant correlation with gender, education, smoking, and marriage (P>0.05) but had a statistically significant correlation with age, heart failure class, residence, and history of falls (p <0.05). It is recommended to develop a comprehensive care program to prevent and reduce the fear of falling.

The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, EBCJ seeks to enrich insight into clinical needs and the implications for patient care intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on clinical practicality of research findings and strength of study design. EBCJ is essential reading for anyone involved in healthcare professions, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on patient care.
