Data Analysis and findingsThis look into finding indicated that the best practices for fall prevention used by Healthcare Assistants were use of aids such as wheelchair and stick (50%), hazard identification (40%), signs for wet floor (30%), care plans and monitoring (30%), clutter free environment (30%), bell ring (10%) and sensor mat (10%).The immediate interventions used by healthcare assistants if they encountered fall incidence were injury risk assessment (50%), fill the ACC incident form (50%), ask help from others (50%), set-back aid (40%), inform nurse (40%), call ambulance (30%), give reassurance to the residents (20%) and use hoist (20%).This research indicated that CHT Royal Oak rest home provides ongoing training to all the staff of the organisation about moving and handling the residents.Furthermore, the fall incidence was being reported and documented by healthcare assistants by filling ACC incidence/Accident forms (100%), informing manager, Register Nurse and family (50%) and development progress notes (20%).Implication The use of best practices to prevent fall at rest home tenanted the healthcare assistants to increase confidence, knowledge, skills and abilities in the identification of residents within health care facilities at risk of falling and to define interventions for the prevention of falling in distinguish to achieve the vision of the organisation.RecommendationAlthough, CHT Royal Oak is competent enough to practice best interventions to prevent fall, there is always room for continuous improvement. It is hereby recommended that manager should assess and document all resident for intrinsic risk factors to fall such as history of a recent fall, specific co-morbidities dementia, hip fracture, type 2 diabetes, Parkinsons disease, arthritis, and depression and any functional disability or use of assistive device. Furthermore, patient care environment should also be assessed routinely for extrinsic risk factors to fall such as floor surfaces for spills, wet areas, unevenness, proper level of illumination and functioning of lights (night light works), table tops, furniture, beds should be portly and are in good repair and if needed, institute corrective actions. It is recommended to use standardized environmental checklists to document findings and re-evaluate environment for condom.Moreover, the healthcare staff should promote beforehand(predicate) mobility and incorporate measures to increase mobility, such as daily walking, balance training, strengthening and weight bearing exercise, if medically stable and not otherwise contraindicated. General safety precaution and fall prevention strategies such as medication review use of proper footwear, proper continence management should be implemented. Multidisciplinary plan of care for preventio n and follow up monitoring should be done to prevent falls in healthcare organisation.In addition to that, education regarding procedures to follow in the event of a fall should be provided to the staff as well as to the residents. The goal of education among residents is to increase the awareness of falls risks and preventative strategies, consequently decreasing the number and severity of falls. Education may improve the residents self-confidence therefore reducing the fear of falling.The most up to date information ask to be available and provided in order to educate residents effectively. All staff should be involved in this process, as each one is an important fraction of the health care team. Lastly, health care workers should be given training to increase their awareness of residents who are at risk of falling by swelled them staff education brochure for fall, through visual aids and posters etc.Conclusion This study involved the healthcare assistants of CHT Royal Oak Ret Home to know the best practices among them to prevent fall in this facility. To sum up, the healthcare assistant showed quite good knowledge and awareness regarding best interventions they are using for fall prevention. Regular ongoing training for fall prevention was provided to all the staffs of CHT Royal Oak Home. Furthermore, fall prevention practices constitute the basics of patient safety. They consent across all rest home areas and help safeguard not only residents, but also visitors and staff in many cases.
