Abstract

Older people on mental health inpatient wards are at high risk of falls due to a combination of physiological, pathophysiological and pharmacological factors. Falls prevention should therefore be a priority for nursing staff caring for this patient group. This article describes a quality improvement project conducted on four older adult mental health inpatient wards in Scotland. The project aimed to reduce the number of falls, increase staff's adherence to person-centred falls prevention care planning, and ensure every fall would prompt a post-fall review. Nursing staff participated in a falls prevention training session and registered nurses received, in addition, one-to-one coaching sessions on person-centred care planning. Despite the challenges faced by mental healthcare professionals at the time of the project, staff responded positively and there was a decrease in the number of falls, including falls resulting in harm.

预防老年人在精神卫生住院病房摔倒:一项质量改进项目。
由于生理、病理生理和药理学因素的综合作用,住院精神卫生病房的老年人跌倒的风险很高。因此,预防跌倒应该是护理这一患者群体的护理人员的优先事项。本文描述了在苏格兰四个老年成人精神健康住院病房进行的质量改进项目。该项目旨在减少跌倒次数,提高工作人员对以人为本的跌倒预防护理计划的依从性,并确保每次跌倒都能在跌倒后进行审查。护理人员参加了预防跌倒培训课程,此外,注册护士还接受了关于以人为本的护理计划的一对一指导课程。尽管在项目实施时精神保健专业人员面临挑战,但工作人员作出了积极的反应,跌倒的次数减少了,包括造成伤害的跌倒。
