摘要：随机抽取并审查了189名养老院居民在3个月期间发生的190起事故中的72起报告。大多数事故都是福尔斯摔倒，无论是大的还是小的。居民的个人资料包括年龄、性别、精神状态、疾病数量和药物数量。环境因素的数据包括一天中的时间和地点的事故，以及伴随的护理人员的模式。老年妇女更有可能参与重大跌倒，而年轻男子更有可能参与轻微跌倒。警觉，轮椅上的老年患者风险最高，而使用辅助设备的患者风险最低。福尔斯与存在的疾病数量和药物使用直接相关。大多数事故发生在晚上和夜间的床边，在护理班次的变化或当病人上升或退休的频率最高。
ABSTRACT: The reports on 72 of 190 accidents occurring among 189 nursing home residents during a 3‐month period were drawn at random and reviewed. The majority of the accidents were falls, either major or minor. Personal data on the residents included age, sex, mental status, number of diseases, and number of drugs administered. Data on environmental factors included the time of day and location of the accident, and the concomitant nursing staff patterns. Women of advanced age were more likely to be involved in a major fall, whereas younger men were more likely to be involved in a minor one. Alert, wheelchair‐bound elderly patients were at the highest risk, whereas those who used assistive devices were at the lowest risk. Falls were directly related to the number of diseases present and the use of drugs. Most accidents occurred at the bedside during the evenings and nights, with the greatest frequency during the changes in nursing shifts or when the patient was either rising or retiring.
