Falls are globally recognized as a public health problem for older persons due to the harmful consequences they have on functionality and quality of life, as well as increased resource consumption and healthcare costs. A society with an increase in older people, many of them with various frailty factors, needs to rethink social, health and urban policies to enable healthy ageing. Fall prevention is above all an individual responsibility, but the low health literacy of this population, the emphasis of some health systems on secondary rather than primary prevention, the multidimensionality of risk and the complexity of some interventions make it difficult to reduce the prevalence, risk and fear of falling.
In this Special Issue, dedicated to Fall Prevention and Geriatric Nursing, we present studies, systematic reviews and experience reports focused on new interventions for fall prevention in different contexts and the education and training of health professionals and caregivers to implement preventive measures and strategies to mitigate the fear of falling.
