abstract="OBJECTIVE: To analyse and synthesize the evidence on fall prevention of people older  than 65 years and their family care providers METHOD: Qualitative synthesis, which  is a part of a convergent systematic integrative review. Forty-one qualitative  studies were retained for full text scrutiny. Nine studies on family care providers  were selected for this synthesis. <br><br>RESULTS: Care providing, and kinship relationships  mediated family care providers' interventions to prevent falls in older people. The  fall of the dependent relative constitutes a turning point in these relationships. Family care providers are vulnerable to having a fall themselves and therefore  receivers of preventive interventions. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Taking into account the context  of care and family relations will improve the effectiveness of preventive  interventions and will facilitate adherence. Fall prevention policy and programmes  must pay better attention to the health and wellbeing of family care providers.<p /> <p>Language: es</p>",
