摘要：
Objective: To determine whether home care clients have accessed or been influenced by fall prevention programs. Methods: Mail survey of 4743 home care clients from several home care agencies. Results: Among the clients, 47.2% completed the survey and 46% had fallen within the last year. Faller and non-fallers differed in attitude to falls and fall risk factors. Only 15% of fallers and 7% of non-fallers had taken part in a fall prevention program and only 8% knew how to access information about such activities. Conclusions: Fall prevention strategies should be targeted at the home care population. Such programs should take into consideration the specific needs of this group.
