Abstract

Chronic conditions in the elderly, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and nerve disorders, have a higher tendency to cause balance and body coordination problems, which contribute to falls. Falls among elderly individuals with chronic diseases are a serious health issue because they can increase morbidity and mortality rates and reduce the quality of life. The population in this study consisted of 107 elderly people suffering from chronic diseases, with a sample size of 84 respondents. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with the following inclusion criteria: elderly individuals suffering from chronic diseases. The exclusion criteria included those who did not experience hearing, vision, or speech impairments, dementia, or total paralysis. The research instrument used was the Morse Fall Scale (MFS). The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics via SPSS. The results showed that the majority of respondents with chronic diseases were aged 60–70 years (94.0%), with 63.1% being female. Regarding the number of chronic diseases, 44.3% of respondents had one chronic disease. The fall risk scale indicated that 41.7% had a low risk of falling, 36.9% had no risk, and 21.4% had a high risk. The conclusion of this study is that elderly individuals with chronic diseases have varying fall risks, both low and high.
