Description

With aging of inpatients, the prevention of falls in old people is an important task nurses have to take upon themselves. In our hospital, we have been tackling the task in earnest by utilizing a fall prevention assessment score sheet. Our efforts have resulted in changes in the attitude of nurses as shown by a survey. (1) By working on the nursing plan with use of the fall prevention assessment score sheet, nurses have become alert to risk factors for falling. (2) They have realized that assistance suited to the needs of each patient is vital and that collaboration between patients, their families and hospital staff contributes to the prevention of falls greatly. (3) The use of an intervention manual has made it easy for nurses to cope with falls and consequent injury. (4) To share information of every factor for falling among the nursing staff has added greatly to the prevention of the recurrence of the fall.
