Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak "Yaşlılar İçin Düşme Davranışları Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde standart sapma, aritmetik ortalama, ikili gruplar için t testi, ikiden daha fazla grup için ise varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Yaşlıların yarıdan fazlasının (%59.4) son bir yıl içinde ev kazası geçirdiği, düşme kazası geçirenlerin (70.2) ve mutfakta kaza geçirenlerin (%31.7) ilk sırada yer aldığı belirlenmiştir. Yaşlıların düşme davranışlarının ortalaması 4'lü ölçekte 2,85 olarak belirlenmiştir. Yaşlıların düşme davranışlarının kaza tipi ve kaza alanı değişkenlerine göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermiştir (p<0,05). Grup ortalamaları incelendiğinde kesik sonucu yaralananların ve mutfakta kaza geçirenlerin düşme davranışları ortalamasının diğer gruplara göre daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Kadınların, yüksekokul mezunlarının, tek çocuğu olanların, yalnız yaşayanların düşme davranışlarının ortalaması diğer gruplara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur.
