Evaluation of the Application Effect of Nursing Risk Management in Preventing Falls among Inpatients
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the practical application effect of nursing risk management in preventing falls among inpatients, and to provide a reference for optimizing clinical safety management strategies for inpatients. Methods: A total of 428 inpatients in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into a control group (218 cases) and a study group (210 cases) according to the nursing management method. The control group received routine fall prevention nursing, while the study group implemented systematic nursing risk management. The fall rate and post-fall injury rate during hospitalization were compared between the two groups. Results: The fall rate of the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Nursing risk management can effectively reduce the fall rate and post-fall injury rate of inpatients through systematic risk identification, targeted intervention and continuous quality improvement. It also improves patients’ awareness of fall prevention and nursing satisfaction, and promotes the improvement of nurses’ risk management ability, which has important clinical promotion value.
