记录408名老人在每班护理期间跌倒的发生情况和激越的三个维度(攻击行为、身体非攻击行为和言语行为)的表现。在最繁忙的当班(白班)发生摔倒的频率最高,而在夜班期间发生摔倒的频率最低,因为大多数居民都在睡觉,护理人员也不那么忙,这一结果证实了之前的报告。与未跌倒的居民相比,跌倒的居民表现出更多的身体非攻击行为,更多的攻击行为,更多的言语激动行为,总体而言,更多的激动行为总数。
The occurrence of falls and the manifestations of three dimensions of agitation (aggressive behaviors, physically nonaggressive behaviors, verbal behaviors) were recorded in 408 nursing home residents during each of the three nursing shifts. Falls occurred most frequently during the busiest shift (the day shift) and least frequently during the night shift when most residents were sleeping and nursing staff were not as busy, a result that confirms previous reports. In comparison to residents who did not fall, residents who fell manifested significantly more physically nonaggressive behaviors, more aggressive behaviors, more verbally agitated behaviors, and overall, a greater total number of agitated behaviors.
