The Morse Fall Scale (MFS) is a popular tool to assess fall risk, although its predictive usefulness is limited in certain health care settings.</p><p><strong>Purpose: </strong>We aimed to explore the predictive value of the MFS, as well as additional factors associated with falls in acute care settings.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This retrospective analysis included data from 4,887 adult patients 18 years of age and older stored in the repository of an acute care inpatient hospital. Data were analyzed using multivariate regression models and area under the receiver operating characteristic curves to determine the validity of the MFS as a predictor of falls.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the 4,887 patients admitted to the acute care hospital setting, 343 (7%) experienced a fall. The median age of the cohort was 70.9 years. After propensity score matching, MFS scores did not differ significantly between those who experienced falls and those who did not. Several variables, such as All Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Group severity, environmental factors, unsteady gait, low bowel continence level, lack of alertness, skin moisture status as either dry or moist, benzodiazepine administration, diabetes, previous drug use, discharge status documented in the electronic health record, sepsis, atrial fibrillation, and hospitalization duration, were significantly associated with a greater risk of falls.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The MFS did not adequately predict falls. Several additional factors were associated with a greater risk of falls. Nurses and other clinicians should incorporate these insights into fall prevention protocols.

{"title":"Nurses' Actions to Advance the Sustainable Development Goals: A Global Study.","authors":"Janice Evans Hawkins, Patrick Chiu, Mercy Ngosa Mumba, Sarah E Gray","doi":"10.1097/AJN.0000000000000270","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1097/AJN.0000000000000270","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Although RNs play a critical role in achieving the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), their contributions are not widely recognized, even among nurses themselves or within the nursing profession. To achieve the SDGs by 2030, governments, civil society, academics, and the private sector must all work together to deliver innovative and integrated solutions. While much work is needed to increase and sustain RNs' engagement with the SDGs, there is evidence that RNs are contributing to the SDG targets worldwide at individual, organizational, and systems levels.</p><p><strong>Purpose: </strong>The main purpose of this global study was to describe RNs' self-reported actions to advance the SDGs, exploring the ways RNs contribute to their achievement. A secondary goal was to identify recommendations for further action.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This qualitative descriptive cross-sectional study used convenience and snowball sampling to recruit an international sample. Data were collected anonymously via an online survey. Each participant was asked to name and describe one action they had taken within the past year to advance the SDGs. Free-text responses were analyzed using directed content analysis. The social-ecological model provided a framework for analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 309 participants from 25 countries responded to the survey. Through our analysis, RNs' SDG-related actions were initially grouped into three categories--individual, community/organization, and systems/policy--with each containing subcategories. A fourth category was added to reflect responses indicating no action. Some examples of actions taken included visiting policymakers, donating to local food banks, educating students, recycling, reducing disparities, conducting research on gender, increasing awareness of inequalities, and using telehealth to increase access to health care.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Findings from this study provide a better understanding of RNs' contributions toward achieving the SDGs. This evidence can be used to inform the development of recommendations that aim to spread and scale RNs' contributions to the sustainable development agenda.</p>","PeriodicalId":7622,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Nursing","volume":"126 4","pages":"28-33"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147509027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
