简要总结
The damage caused by patient falls is a major public health problem, due to the large and growing number of people concerned, the potentially serious consequences but also the financial cost generated by their care.
These consequences can be physical as well as psychological. Fractures and pain are the first consequences that come to mind, but many others should be mentioned: post-fall syndrome, loss of autonomy or even entering an institution, fear of falling, loss of confidence in itself.
详细描述
During 2018, 285 reports of falls were counted within the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group (GhPSJ). Reducing these falls is one of the institutional goals. A dedicated working group has been created to put in place preventive and corrective measures.
These falls can be caused by many factors to the patient:
- Intrinsic:
- History of a fall,
- pathologies (Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease),
- hearing and visual disturbances,
- urinary incontinence.
- extrinsic:
- Unsuitable shoes
- unsuitable habitat,
- slippery floors (eg bathroom).
