Utilizing fall tailoring interventions for patient safety (TIPS) toolkit in fall prevention: Scoping review

Adult falls constitute a serious and preventable health risk. A recent approach that assists nurses in involving patients and their families in fall prevention is the Fall Tailoring Interventions for Patient Safety (TIPS) toolkit. This scoping review aims to map existing research on this topic, identify gaps, and explore the tool kit's impact. Four databases were used for the research: Pubmed, Proquest, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Two reviewers evaluated study eligibility and criteria, identifying nine papers with three themes: Fall TIPS toolkit impact, effectiveness, and barriers. The study highlights the effectiveness of the Fall TIPS toolkit in fall prevention strategies, emphasizing the need for further research to enhance its accessibility and effectiveness.
