Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the change of study variables (knowledge, efficacy, and fatigue) related to using orthosis and fear of falling in fracture patients wearing the leg orthosis after fall prevention education in terms of educational method and frequency.
Methods: Participants were 87 fracture patients wearing the leg orthosis. Experimental I group (n=30) and experimental II group (n=27) received the fall prevention education once and three times respectively with leaflets. Experimental III group (n=30) received video training once.
Results: The level of the subjects" knowledge was significantly increased in experimental I and II groups rather than in experimental III group. In case of experimental I and experimental II group, fear of falling was decreased when compared to experimental III group. However, there were no significant changes in efficacy and fatigue related to using orthosis among three groups.
Conclusion: The fall prevention education using leaflets was more effective than video training method. Only one education with leaflets was effective enough. Therefore, it is recommended that the education with leaflets or pamphlets should be developed systematically according to the characteristics of fracture patients wearing the leg orthosis.
