    Constructing a measure of balance recovery confidence for older persons: Content themes from different stakeholders
    (Foundation of Nursing Studies, 2021-05-19) Soh, Shawn Leng-Hsien; Gilmour, Fiona; Lane, Judith; Asokan, Shalini; Ling Woan, Kang; Tan, Chee-Wee
    Background: The absence of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for a specific construct or target population suggests a need for such measures to be developed. A case in point is the domain of falls efficacy; a PROM for balance recovery confidence was proposed to improve older persons ’agency to arrest a fall. Appropriate participation in its development by relevant stakeholders was identified as essential to maximise the utility of the PROM and its potential to enhance patient care. There is a gap in the practice development literature in terms of PROMs for older persons. This article aims to encourage researchers to use the principles of practice development to address this gap by involving relevant stakeholders to gain greater insight.
