    Factors associated with falls in hospitals: outcomes for nursing care

  • Original language description

    Aim: The aim of this research was to carry out an analysis of falls of hospitalized patients in 2017. They occurred at 16 selected wards in 4 hospitals in South Bohemia. The falls of hospitalized patients are the most frequent negative events in hospitals. Materials and methods: The data regarding falls in hospitals were coded and databased by authorized employees in &quot;Monitoring of the risk factors of falls and their analysis&quot;. They were later statistically analysed using the SASD programme. A total of 280 falls were analysed. Results: Most falls occurred at subsequent care wards - 48.9%. 44.3% of falls occurred at internal wards and 6.8% at surgical wards. Almost half (46.5%) concerned patients who had been hospitalized for 1 to 7 days. The average age of the patients who had fallen was 76.9 years. Most falls occurred in patients&apos; rooms - 78.0% and, in 93.3% of the cases, a medical worker was not present when the fall occurred. In the last 12 months, more than one third of patients have experienced a fall (39.8%). The riskiest period of the day was between 22:00 and 5:59 (35.8% of falls). Most frequently (31.6%), a patient fell off their bed. 41.8% of patients were not injured. The most frequent internal cause was imbalance or dizziness (57.1%) and 34.4 % suffered from confusion. Conclusions: Considering the above-mentioned results, we recommend a change in the control system and interventions using IT technologies and systems.
