| Abstract |
Accidents are major causes of morbidities and mortalities commonly found in older adults. Thus, accidents in older adults are considered important problems that lead to physical loses and losses of belongings, particularly morbidities and mortalities. The present focused ethnography aimed at investigating accidents prevention and severity reduction in older people by the community that suited the sociocultural contexts of the community. The data were collected from 48 primary elderly informants and family members. The data collection instruments included an in-depth interview guideline, a group discussion guideline, and a participatory observation guideline. The text data were analyzed by content analysis. The findings revealed that accidents in older people can be divided into six categories: (1) traffic accidents, (2) general accidents, (3) accidents caused by risk behaviors, (4) emergency-related accidents, (5) accidents in older people with a chronic illness, and (6) accidents in disabled older adults. After the accidents have taken place, there are two guidelines on accident prevention and severity reduction, which are (1) self-care to prevent accidents and reduce severity by older people and family caregivers and (2) accidents prevention and severity reduction by the community including three major organizations—local administration organizations, community groups, and healthcare service providers. The findings of the present study have led to a new body of knowledge which is significant for community nurse practitioners and related persons who constitute a continuous driving force behind accidents prevention and severity reduction in older people by the community. |
