醫護人員為顧及急重症病人及週遭人員安全採取身體約束,但長時間約束會導致病人身心傷害,因本單位2016年身體約束事件為8.84%,超過護理部訂定閾值6.85%,專案目的為降低加護病房病人身體約束事件。現況分析因護理人員對身體約束認知不足、和病人間無溝通輔具、缺少重症止痛鎮靜評估工具及缺少團隊提醒機制。故專案舉辦在職教育溝通圖卡、創新鎮靜止痛照護指引轉盤, 並每日運用提醒機制警示牌,與ISBAR交班溝通技巧(Introduction, Situation, Bacground, Assessment & Recommendation)和醫療團隊討論、結合團隊交班平台與醫囑資訊化,執行後身體約束事件由8.84%下降至5.3%,但單位以氣管內管病人居多,易有急性譫妄發生,建議應針對譫妄有所評估及預防,納入每日照護,以增進病人安全與品質。
