背景:譫妄在骨科老人術後發生率高,若未能早期發現及時處置,將出現併發症,延長住院天數,增加死亡率,影響病人安全。目前國內尚無預防譫妄發生率之相關文獻,因此本研究目的在探討骨科老人術後多面向照護介入措施以預防譫妄之成效。方法:採類實驗研究設計,以方便取樣方式收案196位骨科老年病人,對照組98位,實驗組98位;研究工具為簡易心智量表(Mini-Mental State Examination, MMSE)與混亂評估量表(Confusion Assessment Method, CAM);兩組病人於入院當天評估MMSE與完成第一次評估CAM,之後每天評估CAM直到出院為止,對照組給予常規照護,實驗組給予多面向照護。結果:以SPSS 20.0進行統計分析,結果發現對照組譫妄發生率為3.6%,實驗組譫妄發生率為0%,實驗組相較於對照組的譫妄風險比為0.02,達到統計上顯著差異(p= .03)。結論:多面向照護介入措施可以有效預防骨科老人術後譫妄的發生,維持日常生活功能與生活品質,提供未來預防譫妄照護措施之參考。
Background: Delirium has a high incidence density in older patients who have received orthopedic surgery. If it is not detected early and treated in a timely manner, the patient's safety is compromised and they tend to be hospitalized for longer. No study has addressed the prevention of delirium incidence density in Taiwan. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of multifaceted care in preventing delirium after surgery among older patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was adopted. A total of 196 older patients who received orthopedic surgery were enrolled using convenience sampling; 196 patients were assigned to control and experimental groups at a 1:1 ratio. This study used the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) as research tools. The two groups of patients were assessed using MMSE and CAM at the day of admission. CAM was then used to evaluate patients every day until discharge. The control group was given routine care, and the experimental group was given multifaceted care. Results: Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 20.0. The incidence densities of delirium in the control and experimental groups were 3.6% and 0%, respectively. The risk ratio of delirium between the experimental and control groups was 0.02. These differences were statistically significant (p= .03). Conclusion: Multifaceted care can effectively prevent the occurrence of delirium in older adults following orthopedic surgery, helping them maintain their daily function and quality of life. The findings help clinicians better prevent delirium.
