Falls efficacy among XXXX survivors living in the community.

@entity1 @entity64 @entity3457
PURPOSE:    The study focused on the falls efficacy of @entity64 survivors in the community and its association with the related factors. METHOD:    The study was conducted through a cross-sectional design in the community setting. One hundred seven @entity64 survivors were recruited. Falls efficacy was measured by the 7-item Falls Efficacy Scale International version, where the higher mean score showed more concern about falling in daily life. RESULTS:    @entity3457 ( @entity3457 ) dependency levels, including mild, moderate and severe, contributed to 33.5% of the explained variance. @entity1 were over 7.5 times more likely to have high falls efficacy than @entity1 . Moderate and severe @entity3457 dependency @entity1 were 10.8 and 13.6 times more likely to have high falls efficacy than @entity3457 independent @entity1 . Single fall @entity1 were also nearly 13 times more likely to have high falls efficacy than others who had either recurrent falls or no falls. CONCLUSIONS: Female gender, strong @entity3457 dependency, and single falls were associated with high falls efficacy. The levels of @entity3457 dependency were the most correlated with falls efficacy than with other related factors. Rehabilitation interventions should also be incorporated to minimise @entity3457 dependency, and to improve falls efficacy for @entity64 survivors.
