Injuries from falls are the main cause of trauma morbidity that leads to mortality among the elderly. One prevention strategy is to wear sturdy shoes. This study was undertaken to determine the attitudes towards and use of sturdy shoes among older adults. A random sample of persons ages 65 years and older was contacted by phone; 652 completed interviews. Sturdy shoes were worn by 26 percent of persons at the time of the call; more than two-thirds reported wearing such shoes at some time. Barriers to use of sturdy shoes included foot problems, difficulty putting them on, expense, style, and lack of knowledge about their importance. There was no difference in shoe use by the respondents' history of previous falls. The results provide information useful in the development of a program to increase the use of sturdy shoes by this population.
跌倒造成的伤害是导致老年人死亡的创伤发病率的主要原因。一种预防策略是穿结实的鞋子。本研究旨在确定老年人对结实鞋子的态度及使用情况。通过电话联系了65岁及以上人群的随机样本；652人完成了访谈。在打电话时，26%的人穿着结实的鞋子；超过三分之二的人报告在某些时候穿这种鞋子。使用结实鞋子的障碍包括脚部问题、穿脱困难、费用、款式以及对其重要性缺乏了解。受访者既往跌倒史对鞋子使用情况没有影响。这些结果为制定一项增加该人群使用结实鞋子的计划提供了有用信息。
