Czech Version Of The Diagnosis Of Fear Of Falls In Seniors - FES-I (Falls Efficacy Scale International)
Vol.5,No.2(2011)
Falls in older people are currently considered a serious worldwide public health problem. One of the main reasons for falls is reduced capacity for quick adaptation to changing conditions. Falls are always caused by a complex interaction of external and internal factors. Falls often cause injury to the elderly, requiring long-term, complex and expensive treatment. In the cause that a fall does not cause an injury, mobility is reduced because of fear from further falls. Health care facilities, nursing homes and other facilities are dealing with the prevention of falls. An international network Prevention of Falls Network Europe (ProFaNe) is focused on fall prevention and on improving postural stability. ProFaNe created a diagnostic instrument tool ‘Falls efficacy Scale – International’ (FES-I) to assess the fear of falling among seniors. This diagnostic tool has been successfully translated into several languages using the methodology of Ten Step Translation Protocol. The authors present a valid translation of Falls Efficacy Scale – International for use in the Czech Republic.
