Abstract:
Objective:To develop an expert consensus on safety management of inpatients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) (referred to as the " Consensus") and standardize safety management strategies for AD inpatients. Methods:The evidence on safety management of AD inpatients was searched, evaluated, and summarized, with a search period from database establishment to July 31, 2023. This study conducted methodological quality evaluation and evidence extraction on the included article to form a consensus draft. A total of 24 experts from 15 hospitals across the country were selected for two rounds of Delphi expert consultation to analyze, revise, and improve their opinions, forming the final draft of the Consensus. Results:The positive coefficients for both rounds of expert consultation were 100.00% (24/24). In the second round of consultation, the expert judgment basis coefficient was 0.925, familiarity level was 0.846, authority coefficient was 0.886, Kendall harmony coefficient was 0.044 ( P<0.01). The Consensus elaborated on five common safety problems (loss, falling, aspiration/choking, self-injury/other injury, and medication errors in AD inpatients) from three aspects (assessment, identification of risk factors, and nursing strategies) . Conclusions:The Consensus is scientific and practical to a certain extent, providing guidance and reference for the safety management practice of AD inpatients.
