Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this interventional study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of the STEADI Program on falls and falling prevention compared with routine falling assessment in neurosurgical patients in Jordan. The researchers will compare the effectiveness of the STEADI intervention in the intervention group. Participants in the intervention group will be assessed for falls risk using well-established tools as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The control group participants will receive regular falling assessment which involves using Morse Fall Scale.


Clinical Trial Description

The STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries) program was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help healthcare providers address falls among older adults. The STEADI program provides healthcare providers with tools and resources to screen their older patients for fall risk, assess risk factors, and develop and implement an individualized fall prevention plan. The STEADI program is an evidence-based approach to fall prevention and has been shown to reduce falls among older adults. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness and usefulness of the STEADI among neurosurgery patients is lacking. The investigators of the current research will conduct a 2-hour educational session to train healthcare providers in a neurosurgery unit on using the STEADI tools and algorithm. Then, the investigators will collect data to assess whether applying the STEADI decreases the risk for falls in neurosurgery patients. ;
