Abstract

Objectives: To examine risk factors associated with fall events among hospitalized individuals with cancer.

Sample & setting: 188 individuals with cancer from the inpatient oncology unit of a large, urban, public hospital in New York satisfied requirements for inclusion.

Methods & variables: A retrospective case-control analysis of electronic health records was conducted from January to December 2022. Descriptive statistics were used to investigate factors associated with fall events and falls with injuries.

Results: Bivariate analyses showed that being male, having a preference for the English language, having a solid tumor diagnosis, having metastatic cancer, receiving chemotherapy, using psychotropic medications, and having any isolation precautions were associated with falls among individuals with cancer. High Morse Fall Scale scores, English-language preference, and the combination of receiving chemotherapy and any isolation precautions were found to be highly predictive of a fall event during hospitalization among individuals with cancer.

Implications for nursing: Incorporating oncology-specific patient risk factors into screening or assessment tools and individualized interventions enhances safety.

大型城市公立医院癌症患者跌倒风险因素分析

目的：探讨与住院癌症患者跌倒事件相关的危险因素。样本和环境：188名来自纽约一家大型城市公立医院肿瘤科住院的癌症患者符合纳入要求。方法与变量：对2022年1 - 12月电子病历进行回顾性病例对照分析。描述性统计用于调查与跌倒事件和跌倒损伤相关的因素。结果：双变量分析显示，男性、对英语语言有偏好、有实体瘤诊断、有转移性癌症、接受化疗、使用精神药物以及有任何隔离预防措施与癌症患者的跌倒有关。高莫尔斯跌倒量表评分、英语偏好、接受化疗和任何隔离预防措施的结合被发现对癌症患者住院期间的跌倒事件有很高的预测作用。对护理的启示：将肿瘤特异性患者风险因素纳入筛查或评估工具和个性化干预措施可提高安全性。
