The factors contributing to falls in poststroke patients are multifaceted, with balance deficits being the most prominent. Fall-related self-efficacy has also been identified as a key factor influencing the effectiveness of fall prevention interventions. Additionally, family members play a crucial role in fall prevention by providing support, supervision and assistance with mobility and daily activities. While previous studies support the potential benefits of a fall prevention programme for poststroke individuals, further evidence is needed to confirm their effectiveness. Building on the positive outcomes of self-management (SM) interventions in reducing falls across diverse populations, this study aims to evaluate the effects of an individual and family SM (IFSM) fall prevention programme on balance ability and fall-related self-efficacy among poststroke individuals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study will be a two-arm, single-blind, pre\u2013post test randomised controlled trial. The target sample will consist of 60 poststroke adults with moderate severity and their primary family members. The intervention group will receive the IFSM fall prevention programme, which consists of 10 weekly sessions. The main components of the programme are exercise, home environment assessment, assistive technology, medication review and safety during daily activities. The control group will receive usual care but will not participate in any specific intervention. Primary outcomes\u2014balance ability and fall-related self-efficacy\u2014will be assessed at baseline and week 8 after discharge. Secondary outcomes will include the number of falls and fall-related injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ethical approval was obtained from the Research Ethics Committees of the Faculty of Nursing, Chiang Mai University and the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University.
