The aim of this study was to explore the most effective measures to prevent falls and the most common risk factors for falls in the home environment.Methods: A review of the scientific literature was conducted in the PubMed, Science Direct and SAGE databases along with a qualitative content analysis and synthesis. The literature search took place from 10 April to 11 October 2019. The literature review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines.Results: Of the 347 search hits, 11 original scientific articles and literature reviews were selected for the final analysis. One article was classified at level 1 and ten at level 4. We identified one main category, namely Falls in Older Adults, and three subcategories: (1) Frequency of Falls, (2) Risk Factors, and (3) Measures to Prevent Falls. We identified several factors that contribute to an increased risk of falls among healthy individuals aged 65 and above, as well as effective measures to prevent falls in the home environment.Discussion and conclusion: As falls cause health-related, social and economic consequences, there are still numerous unexplored opportunities in this field. A comprehensive understanding of the risk factors and measures to prevent falls is extremely important for community nurses as it improves the quality of care for older adults in community nursing and promotes its integration and safety. This study contributes to improving clinical practice when working with older adults in the home environmentUvod: Diplomirana medicinska sestra v patronažni dejavnosti opravlja oceno tveganja za padce pri starejših odraslih in svetuje o ustreznih ukrepih za preprečevanje padcev doma. Namen raziskave je bil raziskati najučinkovitejše ukrepe za preprečevanje padcev in najpogostejše dejavnike tveganja za padce v domačem okolju.Metode: Izveden je bil pregled znanstvene literature v podatkovnih bazah PubMed, Science Direct in SAGE s kvalitativno vsebinsko analizo in sintezo. Iskanje literature je potekalo od aprila do oktobra 2019. Za prikaz poteka pregleda literature smo uporabili priporočila PRISMA. Rezultati: Izmed 347 zadetkov je bilo v končno analizo vključenih 11 izvirnih znanstvenih člankov in pregledov literature. En članek smo razvrstili v nivo 1, deset pa v nivo 4. Identificirane so bile glavna kategorija »padci pri starejših odraslih« in tri podkategorije: »pogostost padcev«, »dejavniki tveganja« in »ukrepi za preprečevanje padcev«. Pri odraslih, starejših od 65 let, smo ugotovili veliko dejavnikov, ki prispevajo k večjemu tveganju za padce, ter tudi učinkovite ukrepe za preprečevanje padcev v domačem okolju. Diskusija in zaključek: Padci imajo lahko zdravstvene, socialne in ekonomske posledice na ljudi in družbo, zato je na tem področju še veliko možnosti za raziskovanje. Dobro poznavanje dejavnikov tveganja in ukrepov za preprečevanje padcev je za diplomirano medicinsko sestro v patronažni dejavnosti izredno pomembno, saj je taka obravnava kakovostna, celostna in varna. Raziskava prispeva k izboljševanju klinične prakse pri delu s starejšimi odraslimi v domačem okoljuTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZbornica zdravstvene in babiške nege Slovenije - Zveza strokovnih društev medicinskih sester, babic in zdravstvenih tehnikov Slovenije
