Investigation of the Effect of Nurse-led Transtheoretical Model-Based Video Exercise Trainings on Fall Risk to Elderly People Living in a Nursing Home

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of video exercise trainings based on transtheoretic model given to elderly individuals living in nursing homes under the leadership of nurses on the risk of falling in elderly individuals within nursing care programs.

This study was designed as a randomized controlled experiment. The population of the research consists of individuals aged 65 and over living in Tosya Nursing Home Elderly Care and Rehabilitation Center.

Sample size was calculated using the "G.Power-3.1.9.2" program at a 95% confidence level. As a result of the analysis, α=0.05, standardized effect size was taken from Cohen for the analysis of variance in repeated measurements with factor, due to the lack of a previous study, with a theoretical power of 0.25 to 0.95, the minimum sample size was 36 people in total, 18 control subjects. It was calculated as 18 intervention groups. However, considering that there may be data losses in the study, it was planned to recruit a total of 44 people, 22 of whom were in the control group and 22 in the intervention group, who met the inclusion criteria.

Inclusion criteria in the study

• Individuals aged 65 and over who volunteered to participate in the research
• Those with a Mini Mental Test (MMT) score ≥24
• Those with a KATZ daily living activities scale score of 6
• Does not have a cognitive/affective problem that may hinder communication Exclusion criteria from the study
• Those who have a chronic disease and cannot control it with medication (Individuals will be followed in their files.) Exclusion criteria
• The individual's desire to leave the research
• The individual has a condition that requires hospitalization
• The individual does not participate in video exercise trainings three times a week in a row.
• Death of the individual Simple randomization method was used while forming intervention and control groups in our study. In this randomization method, individuals who meet the inclusion criteria can be assigned to the groups completely randomly, with equal probability, and independently of the previous assignment, after participating in the study. Computer-assisted randomization method was used in simple randomization. For this method, the https://www.randomizer.org/ page was used and intervention and control groups were created.
