Abstract:
Objective:To explore the applification value of self-manufacture anti-fall alarm system on elderly inpatients at high risk of falls.Methods:A total of 110 elderly inpatients at high risk of falls were randomly assigned to experiment group (55 cases) and control group (55 cases), the control group were given routine care of fall prevention, the experiment group was carried out self-manufactured anti-fall alarm system. Patients were followed up for 2 weeks, the fall rates in two groups were recorded, the fall efficacy was assessed by modified fall efficacy scale at enrollment and discharge, the nursing care satisfaction was eveluated by nursing needs and satisfaction scale.Results:There was no fall patient in the experiment group, and 4 fall patients (7.3%) in the control group, the fall rate was significantly decreased in the experiment group compared to the control group ( χ2 value was 4.151, P=0.042). The scores of take a bath or a shower, get in/out of bed, answer the door or telephone, walk around the inside of your house and total MFES scores were significantly increased in the experiment group compared to the control group [(4.55±0.81)points, (6.68±1.39)points, (5.23±1.14)points, (5.97±0.86)points, (67.98±4.28)points vs. (3.13±0.49)points, (5.27±0.94)points, (4.57±1.10)points, (4.57±0.55)points, (63.17±3.66)points], the differences was statically significant ( t value was 3.090-11.049,all P<0.05). The scores of service and technology, environment and guidance, overall evaluation were significantly increased in the experiment group compared to the control group [(51.60±13.75)points, (46.76±14.18)points, (5.97±0.72)points vs (45.67±9.17)points, (41.65±10.82)points, (5.29±0.90)points], the differences was statically significant ( t value was 2.124-4.424,all P<0.05). There were 91.7% (11/12) nurses satisfacted to the self-manufactured anti-fall alarm system. Conclusion:Self-manufactured anti-fall alarm system can effectively prevent fall incidence and promote fall efficacy and nursing care satisfaction of elderly inpatients at high risk of falls.
