The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between falls efficacy, perception of fall risk and fall prevention behavior in frail elderly. The data was collected from 300 elderly through the questionnaire. 1)the mean score of fall efficacy was $34.3{\pm}11.5$, perception of fall risk was $34.3{\pm}11.5$, and fall prevention behavior was $17.7{\pm}2.75$. 2)Fall efficacy was significantly different according to falls experience(t=2.905, p<.05). Perception of fall risk was significantly different according to falls experience (t=2.704, p<.05) and Fall prevention behavior was significantly different according to falls experience (t=2.706, p<.05). 3) It showed the negative relation between fall efficacy and perception of fall risk. It showed the positive relation between falls efficacy and falls prevention behaviors, and falls prevention behaviors and perception of fall risk. According to this study, it showed relation between fall efficacy, perception of fall risk and falls prevention behaviors. Thus it is highly recommended to include reinforce of efficacy and perception of fall risk in an effective fall-prevention program.
