Abstract

perspectives on the phenomenon. This study aims to explore health workers’ perceptions regarding fall risk prevention in
hospitals. This study employed qualitative methods using photovoice. The participants were 20 health workers. The data collection was done within several steps, such as (1) The photographs of fall prevention were collected at 5 different hospitals
within 3 months; (2) 20 photos were selected to be shown in the photo exhibition; (3) Participants were asked to reflect on
the meaning of the photographs during photo exhibition, individually through Google Form and interview using SHOWED
guidelines. This study identified 4 themes, including (1) the importance of fall risk identification, including environmental
and physiological identification and the use of the appropriate assessment instrument based on age range; (2) the role of family
and patient education, but does not guarantee that those who are educated have better attention; (3) involvement of nonhealthcare workers, such as security guide’s contribution to identify patients; (4) application of fall protection and signs is
crucial stuff to be applied in an appropriate way to prevent patients from falls. Health workers encountered both positive
and negative aspects related to fall prevention strategies in hospital settings. Health workers’ perspectives can be considered
by stakeholders to help improve hospital fall prevention regulations.
