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.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

STEADI Program

The investigators will conduct STEADI Algorithm for Falls Prevention educational sessions for healthcare providers in the neurosurgery unit, including doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and pharmacists. All healthcare providers in the neurosurgery unit will be invited to attend the educational sessions. Their participation will be voluntary and no obligations will be made, though. Healthcare providers will be invited to attend one 2-hour educational session. In each session, The investigators will have between 8-10 healthcare providers. The educational sessions will be delivered in the classroom available in the neurosurgery unit to facilitate the healthcare providers' access. PowerPoint presentations, videos, quizzes, case studies, and in-class discussions will be used to deliver learning content during the educational sessions. Healthcare providers will then be asked to apply the STEADI interventions on a group of patients.

OTHER

Routine care

The control group participants will receive routine care. Routine care involves only assessing for falls using Morse Falls Scale (MFS). MFS assesses a patient's fall risk upon admission, following a change in status, and at discharge or transfer to a new setting.
