Inconsistent findings were observed from previous studies and few used validated outcome measurements. Aims: The aims of this study were to (1 ) develop the content and format of the fall prevention educational video and (2) evaluate effectiveness of the video on fall risk awareness, knowledge on falls and help seeking behaviour. Methods: The content and the format of the video were developed using theoretical frameworks, literature reviews, hospital protocols and pamphlets. Its content validity was examined by 5 experts based on review criteria. Quasi-experimental post-test comparison research design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the video among adult surgical patients in a surgical and orthopaedic ward, of an acute hospital in Singapore. Results: The video consisted of background information, reasons for falls, fall prevention strategies and consequences on falls, took 2 minutes 30 seconds, was viewed from a laptop. Its content validation index was 0.97. A total of 202 participants were used in the quasi-experimental study Independent t-test showed that the intervention group had a significant improvement (p= 0.021) in fall risk awareness. However, Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant results for knowledge on falls (p= 0.348) and help seeking behaviour (p= 0.519) respectively. Conclusion: The content and format of the video achieved satisfactory content validity. Fall risk awareness was found to be significantly higher in intervention group.
