Objectives: This study aimed to identify the level of confidence among care workers in patients’ fall prevention, fall-related knowledge, fall burden, and factors influencing fall burden. Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted with 158 care workers in metropolitan city B. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS win 27.0 program. Results: The mean scores for confidence in fall prevention, fall-related knowledge, and fall burden were 7.22±1.87, 18.18±3.15, and 2.98±0.37, respectively. Factors influencing fall burden among care workers were working place (β=.28, p<.001) and confidence in fall prevention (β=-.23, p=.003). Conclusions: The results indicated that the higher the confidence in fall prevention among care workers, the lower the fall burden. The fall burden of care workers in long-term care hospitals was heavier than that in general hospitals. Therefore, the findings suggest the needs to develop a program and verify its effectiveness in reducing the burden of falls among care workers in long-term care hospitals.
