Focus of the project
The practicum project focused on patient falls as a health burden in clinical
settings. The project objective was to explore different evidence based fall prevention
measures from available literature then use this information to select the most promising
interventions and implement them in my practicum site. Some of these interventions
include the use of fall prevention kits, vitamin D supplements, exercise, bed side sensors,
bed exit alarms and use of fall training videos (Moncada & Mire, 2017). From the
literature review and synthesis of these interventions, the use of patient education was
selected as the most reliable intervention to train both healthcare providers and patients
on how to properly manage patient falls and reduce fall incidences in healthcare settings
(Cameron et al., 2018). The goals I set for this project included lowering the incidents
and prevalence rates of falls by 80% in the practicum facility within six months.
Some of the nurse executive competencies identified by the American
organization for nursing leadership (AONE) include prioritizing patient safety, healthcare
delivery quality and patient outcomes (Aone.org., 2020). Through implementing patient
education interventions in the practicum site to curb patient falls, some of the AONE
competencies I hoped to achieve included improving patient outcomes by advancing the
elderly patients wellbeing and quality of life. Previous studies by Liddle & Gilleard
(2017) found that fear of falling was the most prominent emotional implication of patient
falls among the elderly. Through implementing proper patient and nurse fall education
