Hospitals use sitters as an alternative to reduce patient falls. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a sitter reduction program by examining the differences between sitter use and falls in an acute care hospital. Findings indicate that a significant decrease in sitter use and falls remained constant. Reducing sitter use is possible without significantly increasing fall rates.
医院使用陪护人员作为减少患者跌倒的一种替代方法。该研究的目的是通过检查一家急症护理医院中陪护人员的使用情况与跌倒情况之间的差异，来评估一项减少陪护人员计划的有效性。研究结果表明，陪护人员使用量的显著减少以及跌倒发生率保持稳定。在不显著增加跌倒率的情况下减少陪护人员的使用是可行的。
