Is my journey destination home?’ Exploring the experiences of older adults who undertake a transition care programme
Transition care programmes (TCP) provide older adults with goal-oriented rehabilitation after hospitalisation. However, limited research has focused on understanding older adults' experiences when undertaking TCP. Using a phenomenological approach, we explored the lived experience of older adults undertaking a TCP at a transition care facility in Australia. A purposive sample (N = 33 participants: 16 older adults, four family members and 13 staff…

Fall Prevention Education Co-Designed and Evaluated with Community-Dwelling Older People Living with Dementia and Their Caregivers
Community-dwelling older people living with dementia are at increased risk of falls and injury that may impact their ability to remain at home. Fall prevention education programs have been effective in reducing falling risks in other older populations, but few studies have reported on programs specifically co-designed with this vulnerable cohort. This study partnered with community-dwelling older people living with dementia and their caregivers t…

The intention of providing the education programme was to assist residents to stay safe and mobile whilst reducing their risk of falling. Design/methodology/approach A two-phase mixed methods participatory design using a resident ( n = 6) and care staff ( n = 5) consumer engagement panel, …
Identifying the Association Between Older Adults' Characteristics and Their Health-Related Outcomes in a Transition Care Setting
Introduction: Continued evaluation of Transition Care Programs (TCP) is essential to improving older adults' outcomes and can guide which older adults may benefit from undertaking TCP. The aim of this study was to audit a transition care service to identify the association between the characteristics of older adults undertaking a facility-based TCP and (i) discharge destination and (ii) functional improvement. Materials and methods: An audit ( n …
Tailored Education Increased Capability and Motivation for Fall Prevention in Older People After Hospitalization

The authors examined the effects of tailored education delivered by physiotherapists on the knowledge (capability) and the motivation of older people to engage in fall prevention after hospital discharge. Utilizing data gathered from a recent trial, data was analyzed from 390 people who were 60 …

Perspectives of older adults regarding barriers and enablers to engaging in fall prevention activities after hospital discharge
Older adults recently discharged from hospital are at high risk of functional decline and falls. A tailored fall prevention education provided at hospital discharge aimed to improve the capacity of older adults to engage in falls prevention activities. What remains unknown are the factors affecting behaviour change after hospital discharge. This study identified the perceived barriers and enablers of older adults to engagement in fall prevention …
Evaluation of older people's knowledge, awareness, motivation and perceptions about falls and falls prevention in residential aged care homes
Falls prevention strategies can only be effective in reducing falls amongst older people if they are adopted and enacted in their daily lives. There is limited evidence identifying what older people in residential aged care (RAC) homes understand about falls and falls prevention, or what may limit or enable their adoption of strategies. This study was conducted in two countries and explored older people's knowledge and awareness of falls and thei…
