Abstract

Objective: Evaluate barrier factors of the elderly participating in the Otago exercise program to prevent the risk of falls in two communes in Vu Thu district, Thai Binh province. Methods: An intervention study with a control group combining quantitative and qualitative (group discussion) was conducted on 254 elderly people in two communes of Vu Thu district, Thai Binh province. Results: Barrier factors of the elderly participating in the Otago exercise program include: (1) Functional impairment leading to reduced communication ability (29,9%); forgetful and need someone to remind them; difficulty remembering some certain movements, especially for people aged 70 and over; depends on the health status of the elderly. Conclusion: The elderly when participating in the Otago fall prevention exercise program encounter a number of barriers, especially the group over 70 years old, so health workers need to pay attention to the elderly group aged 70 and over and and the health status of the elderly, while being flexible in organizing and implementing the Otago exercise program.
