Falls from bed are common in subacute hospital settings, particularly for patients with cognitive impairment. This repeated measures, single cohort study in 1 subacute ward evaluated effectiveness of an electronic sensor alarm in reducing falls in patients (n = 34) with cognitive impairment. Nursing staff feedback (focus group, survey) was used to determine electronic sensor alarm feasibility. The electronic alarm system was found to be a feasible, effective, and acceptable fall prevention strategy for patients with cognitive impairment.
在亚急性医院环境中，从床上跌落的情况很常见，尤其是对于认知障碍患者。这项在1个亚急性病房进行的重复测量单队列研究，评估了电子传感器警报在减少认知障碍患者（n = 34）跌倒方面的有效性。通过护理人员反馈（焦点小组、调查）来确定电子传感器警报的可行性。结果发现，电子警报系统对于认知障碍患者来说是一种可行、有效且可接受的跌倒预防策略。
