運用參與式衛教提升病患跌倒關注程度

Fall prevention for Patients on Cardiology Ward

背景：跌倒是病人安全的重要議題，心臟內科病人經常因藥物使用致使跌倒風險增加，若能提升病患與陪伴者的跌倒關注程度將有助病患跌倒之預防。
目的：透過本專案運用參與式衛教提升病患和陪伴者跌倒關注程度以降低心臟內科病人跌倒發生率。
解決方案：運用「參與式衛教圖卡」和「系列性衛教時機」，提升病患和陪伴者跌倒關注程度及降低跌倒發生率。
結果：跌倒關注程度之衛教於專案實施前，病患與陪伴者跌倒關注的14.12分，較專案實施後跌倒關注程度達31.20分，提高了17.08分。跌倒發生率也由0.09%降至0.04%。
結論：本專案有利於提升病患及陪伴者跌倒關注程度，驥於此專案可推廣「參與式衛教圖卡」和「系列性衛教時機」，降低跌倒發生率。

Background: Fall is an important patient safety issues. Cardiology patients are high risk group for their using fall-inducing medication. Fall efficacy may prevent ones to fall. Purposes: Increasing fall efficacy of patients and caregivers to decrease fall rates of patients on cardiology ward. Resolution: Using “Participatory Health Education Materials” and “series timing for health education” to enhance levels of fall efficacy of patients and caregivers. Results: Scores of Fall efficacy had increased 17.08 (from 14.12±4.81 to 31.20±3.67). Fall rates decreased from 0.09% to 0.04%. Conclusions: “Participatory Health Education Materials” and “series timing for health education” may increase levels of fall efficacy of patients and caregivers in cardiology ward. Fall rates of patients may decreased accordingly.
