Falling is a public health problem that could be prevented by screening at-risk populations. Several tools exist, some of which assess lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Our aim was to examine knowledge and practice regarding the assessment of LUTS when screening for fall risk in older people.The knowledge and practices of geriatric caregivers regarding falls risk screening were surveyed by an online self-administered questionnaire, consisting of 6 to 29 questions depending on the responses. A descriptive analysis of the responses was performed.Of 120 caregivers approached, 71 responded to the questionnaire (92% female, median age 44 years [40.5-50.7]). Most respondents were nurses (58%). 51 were aware of at least one fall risk screening tool, and 23 felt they assessed at least one LUTS. The 3 most known tools were the Timed up and go test (n=16), the unipodal stance time (n=10) and the Morse scale (n=8). 33 used fall risk screening tools, and 15 felt they assessed at least one SBAU. The 3 most used tools were the Timed up and go test (n=6), the STRATIFY scale (n=5) and the Morse scale (n=4).Most fall risk screening tools known or used by caregivers involved in the care of the older adult do not assess LUTS. |
