Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine effects of a fall prevention education program among inpatients over 65 years old. Methods: A quasi- experimental study with two intervention groups and a comparison was used. One hundred and forty-three participants recruited from one university hospital were assigned to one of three groups: Video-only education (n=49), video plus leaflet education (n=45), and a comparison group who received a routine education (n=49). The data collection period was from March to August 2016. Results: The two intervention groups reported higher scores in fall prevention behaviors than the comparison group (F=19.83, p<.001). Participants who viewed the video and received the leaflet education reported higher scores than those with video only education. The scores of attitudes toward falls (F=16.05, p<.001), and satisfaction with education (F=40.02, p<.001) in both intervention groups were also significantly higher than the comparison group, with no significant difference between the two intervention groups. Conclusion: The fall prevention program was effective in improving fall-related attitude and satisfaction among elderly inpatients. Since the video plus leaflet education was most effective in improving prevention behaviors, it might be included in routine orientation on admission for the elderly.
