本研究是為了了解病人對預防跌倒的知識、態度和行為。研究設計:為橫斷式問卷調查法,研究彰化縣某區域教學醫院65歲以上的住院病人,以立意抽樣方式調查,用面對面訪談問卷方式進行,總計研究對象為80人,問卷回收率達100%,CVI值為88.33-100%,知識庫李信度係數(r)為0.50;態度Cronbach’s α係數(r)為0.63。 研究結果顯示:一、本研究80位受測病人對於預防跌倒的知識得分為66.73分,預防跌倒的態度得分為74.65分,預防跌倒的行為得分為76.15分,所以本研究對象其預防跌倒問卷得分以行為得分最高、態度次之、知識最低;二、病患有無疾病史及有無照顧者對於預防跌倒的行為有較多的顯著差異。 本研究結論及建議為:一、預防跌倒之衛教應全面施行,以減少住院病患跌倒之發生率;二、護理人員仍需再加強給予病人及家屬預防跌倒之觀念,強化病人認知自己具跌倒傾向之內察力;三、及早評估與辨識病人跌倒的特性,執行預防跌倒的防範措施,可降低病人跌倒的傷害與合併症。本研究結果,可以做為臨床醫護人員繼續教育及防範病人跌倒之參考。
