Hospitalized patients with a developmental or intellectual disability and a psychiatric disorder (dual-diagnosis) often pose a risk to themselves or others leading to high injury rates for their providers. Therefore, evidence-based strategies to reduce employee injuries resulting from interactions are necessary.
To reduce injuries resulting from interactions with dual-diagnosis patients, the Initial Behavioural Assessment (IBA) and Protective Equipment Decision Key (PEDK) were used in inpatient neuropsychiatry. The IBA-PEDK identify patients' aggressive behaviors to provide employees with personal protective equipment (PPE). Inter-rater reliability, validity, and adherence were examined.
Injuries significantly decreased after implementing the IBA-PEDK. The average kappa coefficient was 0.64 with a 90.6% agreement. Ninety-three percent of respondents reported wearing PPE at the time of injury.
A quick, user-friendly tool that provides a standardized method for determining PPE based on patient-specific behavior can significantly reduce aggression-related injuries.
患有发育障碍或智力残疾以及精神疾病(双重诊断)的住院患者常常会对自己或他人构成风险,导致其医护人员受伤率很高。因此,有必要采用基于证据的策略来减少因互动导致的员工受伤情况。
为减少与双重诊断患者互动导致的伤害,在住院神经精神病学中使用了初始行为评估(IBA)和防护设备决策关键(PEDK)。IBA - PEDK识别患者的攻击性行为,以便为员工提供个人防护设备(PPE)。对评分者间信度、效度和依从性进行了检查。
实施IBA - PEDK后,受伤情况显著减少。平均kappa系数为0.64,一致性为90.6%。93%的受访者报告在受伤时佩戴了PPE。
一种快速、用户友好的工具,基于患者特定行为提供确定PPE的标准化方法,可显著减少与攻击相关的伤害。
