Despite a lack of evidence-based strategies, health professionals have experiential knowledge in engaging care partners in fall risk management (FRM). The objective of this study was to develop a process model describing how experienced health professionals engage care partners in FRM for community-dwelling older people with dementia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used a qualitative descriptive approach and obtained semistructured interview data from 22 health professionals who had at least 5 years of direct clinical experience with community-dwelling older people with dementia.

The model mapped 22 activities into 6 discrete steps: (re)connect with care partners, determine when and how to engage care partners in FRM, collect information for fall risk assessment, make decisions and create a care plan for FRM, implement the FRM care plan, and review the care plan and determine if adjustments are needed. The process model also presents characteristics of the triadic care team and service organization and system-level factors that may influence how health professionals engage care partners in FRM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The process model derived from this study can inform the development of interventions and training programs for health professionals to effectively engage care partners in managing fall risk for community-dwelling older people with dementia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnag085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T11:47:30Z","timestamp":1777376850000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A process model of engaging dementia care partners in fall risk management for health professionals"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2492-346X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuanjin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, The University of Texas at Austin , Austin, Texas,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyi","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, The University of Texas at Austin , Austin, Texas,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Kilcrease","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Case Management Department, St. David\u2019s North Austin Medical Center , Austin, Texas,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3047-1237","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth A","family":"Phelan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Division of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, and School of Public Health, Department of Health Systems and Population Health, University of Washington , Seattle, Washington,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026070713214920900_gnag085-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e5521","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0005521","article-title":"Incidence and prediction of falls in dementia: A prospective study in older people","volume":"4","author":"Allan","year":"2009","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"2026070713214920900_gnag085-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"520","DOI":"10.1186\/s12877-020-01931-y","article-title":"Mapping and understanding the decision-making process for providing nutrition and hydration to people living with dementia: A systematic review","volume":"20","author":"Anantapong","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMC Geriatrics"},{"key":"2026070713214920900_gnag085-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"993","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm6537a2","article-title":"Falls and fall injuries among adults aged \u226565 years\u2014United States, 2014","volume":"65","author":"Bergen","year":"2016","journal-title":"MMWR.
