患者福尔斯跌倒仍然是医院的主要不良事件。在一项对65家乡村医院（222个护理单位）和560家城市医院（4274个护理单位）的研究中，我们发现地理区域、单位类型、护士配备、教育、经验和结果与跌倒率相关。影响包括特别注意预防跌倒康复单位，创造更好的工作环境，促进护士保留，并提供RN-BSN教育机会。
Patient falls remain a leading adverse event in hospitals. In a study of 65 rural hospitals with 222 nursing units and 560 urban hospitals with 4274 nursing units, we found that geographic region, unit type, and nurse staffing, education, experience, and outcomes were associated with fall rates. Implications include specific attention to fall prevention in rehabilitation units, creating better work environments that promote nurse retention, and provide RN-BSN educational opportunities.
