Abstract

Purpose:To examine the effects of a Concrete-Objective Information (COI) program on fall prevention behaviors among adult patients hospitalized at Sikarin Hospital, Hat Yai.
Design:A two-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design.
Methods:The participants consisted of male and female adult patients admitted in Sikarin Hospital, Hat Yai, with the sample size determined using G*Power. Participants were divided equally into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received the Concrete-Objective Information program based on Leventhal & Johnson’s self-regulation theory, while the control group received standard nursing care. Fall prevention behaviors were measured using a validated 12-item questionnaire (Content Validity Index = 1.00, validated by three experts). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and differences in fall prevention behaviors between the two groups were compared using an independent t-test.
Results:Post-intervention, the experimental group showed significantly higher fall prevention behaviors ( $\overline{x}$ = 7.32, SD = 5.30). compared to the control group ( $\overline{x}$ = 1.92, SD = 4.39) at a significance level of p < .001. Within the experimental group, post-intervention scores were significantly higher than pre-intervention scores (p < .001)
Conclusion:The COI program significantly improved fall prevention behaviors compared to both standard care and baseline levels. These findings suggest that the program can be effectively implemented to enhance patient safety and reduce fall incidents in hospital settings.
