Background: Nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of parturient women. Maternal falls have received minimal attention as they do not happen frequently. Therefore, fall prevention approaches have become essential. This unit caused 0.28% of maternal falls, which was higher than the hospital's 0.18% of falls, which triggered the project motivation. Purpose: The project aims to increase the accurate fall prevention rate to 95%. Method: The project used multiple intervention strategies which included the use of a 'co-evaluation chart' to guide parturient women, conducting training programs, use of new fall prevention leaflets, and adoption and correct placement of fall prevention signs. Result: The completeness of fall prevention measures increased from 72.2% to 99.1%. Conclusion: Use of the patient participation model encouraged parturient women to get involved in fall prevention with results suggesting an increase in fall prevention strategies' integrity with expected subsequent improvement in the quality and safety of parturient women's healthcare services.
