A Study on Fall Prevention in Inpatients in the Rehabilitation Medicine Department Based on a Multidimensional Intervention Strategy

Objective: To analyze the effect of the multidimensional intervention strategy nursing model in a clinical nursing program for inpatients in a rehabilitation medicine department on fall prevention. Methods: A total of 4000 patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of our hospital between January 2023 and December 2024 were included in the pilot study. Multidimensional intervention strategies were implemented to prevent falls, and the patients before and after the intervention were compared. The incidence rate and severity of fall injuries were evaluated. Nursing effects such as the MFLS fall efficacy scale, the ESCA self-care ability, and the SF-36 quality of life of the patients were compared before and after the intervention. The NSNS nursing satisfaction score was used to compare nursing satisfaction before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the incidence of falls and the severity of fall injury in this group of patients were greater than those before the intervention, and the comparison of the indicators revealed statistical significance (P < 0.05). Moreover, the scores of the MFLS fall efficacy scale, the ESCA self-care ability, and the SF-36 quality of life after the intervention were also better than those before the intervention, and the comparison of the indicators was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In terms of nursing satisfaction, the postintervention level was significantly better than the preintervention level was, and the indicator comparison was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Multidimensional intervention strategies can reduce the probability of falls and the degree of injury caused by falls, reduce secondary injuries in patients during hospitalization, increase their health awareness, improve their self-care ability, and improve their quality of life. Patients had good hospitalization experience and accepted the nursing service.
