The data were analyzed using mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test. The significant difference was set at the .05 level.
Results from this study showed that:
- Older persons with Parkinson’s disease after participating in experiential health education had statistically significant fall prevention behavior better than before participating experiential health education at the level of .05.
- Older persons with Parkinson’s disease who participated in experiential health education had statistically significant fall prevention behavior better than the control groups who received conventional care.
Suggestions: The nursing program should bring the experiential health education used in the neurological ward for providing knowledge before discharge patients go to their home. To allow patients to realize the importance of self-care, leading to behavioral changes to prevent falls.
