Overview
Brief Summary
This mixed-methods, two-arm, randomized controlled trial will evaluate the impact of Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a follow-up care to patients who received fall prevention recommendations at Oregon Health & Science University Internal Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic provided over 12 months.
Detailed Description
The goal of this mixed-methods, two-arm, randomized controlled trial of MI intervention for fall prevention is to evaluate the impact of Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a follow-up care to patients who received fall prevention recommendations at Oregon Health \& Science University Internal Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic provided over 12-months. Older adult participants (older than 65) who are at increased risk for falling will be enrolled into the study. Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups: MI and the standard of care group. All participants will have a baseline and 6-months study visit that will include self-report and physiologic assessment. In addition, all participants will receive study measurement phone call at 3-, and 12-months. MI will be provided via video, phone, or in-person one week after the initial visit and then monthly for 6 months. All MI sessions will be recorded and encounter notes will be completed. Purposefully selected participants' MI sessions will be transcribed for qualitative analysis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Falls Self-Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) Results
Time Frame: 3-, 6-, and 12-months
A 7-item scale, 1-4 self-report rating, widely used to measure levels of concern related to preventing falls. Minimum value is 7 and maximum value is 28. Higher FES-I scores is a worse value since it has been positively correlated with decreased activities, future falls, and injury.
Fall Behavioral (FAB) Scale Results
Time Frame: 3-, 6-, and 12-months
A 24-item, 1-4 self-report rating to measure frequency of protective strategies to prevent falling and risky behaviors that facilitate a fall. The average value is calculated with a minimum value of 1 and maximum value of 4. Higher FAB score is a better value since it indicates more consistent fall protective behaviors.
Secondary Outcomes
- Level of Importance to Prevent Falls(3-, 6-, and 12-months)
- Balance Measure (Tandem Stand)(6-months)
- Patient Activation Measure Results(3-, 6-, and 12-months)
- Balance Measure (Semi-tandem Stand)(6- months)
- Balance Measure (One-leg Stand)(6- months)
- Level of Confidence to Prevent Falls(3-, 6-, and 12-months)
- Balance Measure (Feet Side by Side)(6- months)
- 30-second Sit-to-stand Assessment(6-months)
- Number of Participants With Self-reported Falls(1-year)
