Background Multifactorial falls risk assessment and multidomain interventions are recommended by the World guidelines for falls prevention and management. To successfully implement these interventions, it is important to understand determinants influencing the implementation. Methods A literature search was conducted for this systematic review on the 3 December 2021 and updated on the 3 April 2023 in five databases: PubMed (including MEDLINE), EMBASE (via Embase.com), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (via Cochrane Library), Web of Science Core Collection and CINAHL (via EBSCO). Studies were included if they reported on determinants influencing the implementation of a multifactorial falls risk assessment and/or multidomain interventions in community-dwelling older people. Editorials, opinion papers, systematic reviews and studies focusing on one population (e.g. Parkinson) were excluded. Two researchers independently screened the articles on title, abstract and full text. The quality was evaluated based on a sensitivity analysis. 'The Comprehensive Integrated Checklist of Determinants of practice' was used to categorise the determinants. Results Twenty-nine studies were included. Determinants were classified as barriers (n = 40) and facilitators (n = 35). The availability of necessary resources is the most reported determinant. Other commonly reported determinants are knowledge, intention/beliefs and motivation at the levels of older people and healthcare professionals, fitting of the intervention into current practice, communication, team and referral processes and financial (dis)incentives. Conclusions Mapping of the barriers and facilitators is essential to choose implementation strategies tailored to the context, and to enhance the uptake and effectiveness of a multifactorial falls risk assessment and/or multidomain interventions.

Background: In Northwestern Switzerland, recent legislation tackles the needs of community-dwelling older adults by creating Information and Advice Centers (IACs). IACs are a new service in the community that aims to assess the needs and provide information on age-related issues to community-dwelling older adults and their families. Previous studies reported difficulties in reaching community-dwelling older adults for community-based programs. We aimed to: 1) systematically identify implementation strategies to promote the IAC among community care providers, older adults and informal caregivers; 2) monitor the delivery of these strategies by the IAC management; and 3) describe the impact of those strategies on reach of community-dwelling older adults. This study was conducted as part of the TRANS-SENIOR project. Methods: As part of the INSPIRE feasibility assessment, we conducted a pre-test post-test study between March and September 2022. The sample included 8,840 older adults aged 65 + visiting/calling or being referred to the IAC for the first time. Implementation strategies were selected using implementation mapping and organized in bundles for each group of community care providers and older adults/caregivers. Our evaluation included: estimation of fidelity to the delivery of implementation strategies and bundles by the IAC management and their coverage; referral source of older adults to the IAC; and impact of the strategies on reach of the IAC on the 65 + population living in the care region. Adaptations to the strategies were documented using the FRAME-IS. Descriptive statistics were calculated and reported. Results: Seven implementation strategies were selected and organized in bundles for each community care provider and older adults and their caregivers. The lowest fidelity score was found in implementation strategies selected for nursing homes whereas the highest score corresponded to strategies targeting older adults and caregivers. "Informational visits" was the strategy with the lowest coverage (2.5% for nursing homes and 10.5% for hospitals and specialized clinics). The main referral sources were self-referrals and referrals by caregivers, followed by nursing homes. The IAC reach among the 65 + population was 5.4%. Conclusion: We demonstrated the use of implementation mapping to select implementation strategies to reach community-dwelling older adults. The reach was low suggesting that higher fidelity to the delivery of the strategies, and reflection on the causal pathway of the implementation strategies might be needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Regaining independent living can be challenging in patients undergoing inpatient geriatric rehabilitation. Given the paucity of evidence-based physiotherapy programs for this particular heterogeneous group, the Geriatric Activation Program Pellenberg (GAPP) was developed. Investigate the evolution of functional performance, and predict detectable changes throughout 4 weeks of GAPP. Methods: Participants in this observational study (2017–2019) followed GAPP as part of their rehabilitation program. Functional balance (Berg balance scale (BBS)) and independence (Katz scale) were the primary outcomes, with gait speed, elbow and knee extension strength, cognitive processing speed, and mood as secondary outcomes. All outcomes were assessed at baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks later. Prediction analysis was conducted using logistic regression modeling. Previously reported minimal detectable change with 95% confidence interval (MDC95) was used as detectable change. We recruited 111 participants, with 83 completing 4 weeks of GAPP and all assessments. Over 4 weeks, all outcome measures showed a significant improvement (p ≤.007). Detectable change was found for BBS (mean improvement of 12.8 points (95% CI: 10.9–14.8), MDC95 = 6.6) and gait speed (mean improvement of 0.24 m/s (95% CI: 0.19–0.29), MDC95 = 0.1 m/s). We found that baseline scores lower than 26 on the BBS (75% sensitivity, 65% specificity) and gait speed lower than 0.34 m/s (53% sensitivity, 81% specificity) were associated with participants achieving detectable change at 4 weeks on BBS and gait speed, respectively. Functional performance of a heterogeneous group of geriatric inpatients improved notably after 4 weeks of GAPP. Baseline scores on BBS and gait speed can partially predict detectable changes in functional performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
