Abstract

The Effect of Application of Caring Leadership on Fall Prevention Implementation xxxi + 86 pages + 13 tables + 5 figures + 10 appendixes The incidence of falls is a significant concern as a cause of injury, morbidity and mortality. Nurses have an important role in the success of prevention of falls. Poor implementation of fall prevention can increase the incidence of falls. Efforts to improve nurse performance can be done by implementing an effective leadership style. Caring leadership as a leadership style that can facilitate the needs of nurses and motivate nurses to achieve performance is an important factor in preventing falls. This study aims to analyze the effect of applying caring leadership on the implementation of fall prevention by nurses. The research method used was a quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest with control group design. The samples were 38 staff nurses taken by purposive sampling technique. Observations were carried out directly to measure the implementation of caring leadership and implementation of prevention of falls. Data were analyzed using non parametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney statistical tests. The results showed that there were differences in the mean value of the prevention of falls before and after the application of caring leadership with a p-value of 0.000, which means that there was an effect of the application of caring leadership on increasing the implementation of prevention of falls. The application of caring leadership in hospitals should be carried out consistently to increase the performance of nurses in preventing falls.
