摘要

住民跌倒意外將對機構照護造成照護上之複雜度增加，更間接造成醫療資源大量支出，本研究旨在探討長期照護機構發生住民跌倒意外之情形，並以台灣地區之長期照護機構為對象，以立意取樣方式選取七家不同型態之機構住民為調查樣本，採用SAPF（Screening assessment for preventing falls）量表，評估樣本住民之跌倒危險與相關因素。本研究收案之樣本住民為228人，平均75.7歲，半數以上有高血壓疾病，身體功能大多是屬嚴重依賴以上之個案；經分析結果顯示有20.3％的樣本住民曾在機構中發生過跌倒，而受評估的樣本住民中有70.6％的比例具有三項以上的跌倒潛在危險因子，結果中顯示住民發生跌倒危險的性別比較以男性較高，而80歲以上的高齡住民服用中樞神經抑制藥物劑的跌倒危險因子比例相對較高。研究結果顯示長期照護機構住民跌倒之危險性極高，需制定完善的防跌措施。
