Risk assessment of falls in elderly patients and analysis of the effectiveness of preventive nursing interventions
老年患者跌倒风险评估与预防护理干预效果分析

摘要

目的 分析老年患者应用跌倒风险评估与预防护理干预的效果。方法 纳入我院2022年1月~2024年1月内收治的老年患者68例，采用随机数字表法分为对照组（常规预防跌倒护理）和观察组（跌倒风险评估与预防护理）各34例，对比两组护理效果。结果 干预前按两组患者预防跌倒知识、行为和信念评分差异均无统计学意义（P＞0.05），干预后观察组患者各维度评分均显著高于对照组，差异均有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。且对比两组跌倒发生率显示，观察组患者发生率显著低于对照组，差异存在统计学意义（P＜0.05）。结论 临床中对老年患者行跌倒风险评估与预防护理干预能够显著提升患者防跌倒事件发生，提升其预防跌倒知识和信念。

Abstract

Objective To analyze the effectiveness of fall risk assessment and preventive nursing interventions in elderly patients.
Methods Sixty eight elderly patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were randomly divided into a control group (conventional fall prevention nursing) and an observation group (fall risk assessment and prevention nursing), with 34 cases in each group, using a random number table method. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared.
Results Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the scores of knowledge, behavior, and belief in preventing falls between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). After intervention, the scores of each dimension in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). And comparing the incidence of falls between the two groups, it was found that the incidence of falls in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion   Conducting fall risk assessment and preventive nursing interventions for elderly patients in clinical practice can significantly improve their knowledge and beliefs in preventing falls.
