RESUMO: Os objetivos do estudo foram identificar a prevalência dos fatores de risco de queda intrínsecos durante a internação do paciente e buscar os registros de queda de paciente no período de janeiro de 2015 em uma unidade de internação cirúrgica. Os participantes foram os pacientes da enfermaria cirúrgica de um hospital no Rio de Janeiro. A pesquisa foi realizada de janeiro a março de 2015. Considerou-se a presença ou ausência dos fatores de risco intrínsecos para queda. Foram registrados cinco (5,1%) casos de queda do total de 98 participantes. Associação dos fatores de risco no paciente que sofreu queda mostrou que 100% (5) dos pacientes tinham o fator de risco comprometimento da visão, 80% (4) apresentavam idade maior que 65 anos e anemia. O foco principal é reduzir os casos de queda no cenário de estudo desta pesquisa. Portanto, pesquisa futura pretende aprofundar o assunto entorno do desenvolvimento de tecnologia educacional para reduzir a incidência de queda no cenário de estudo. DESCRITORES: Acidentes por quedas; Segurança do paciente; Fatores de risco; Medidas de segurança; Enfermagem. PREVALÊNCIA DOS FATORES DE RISCO INTRÍNSECOS AO PACIENTE E ODESFECHO QUEDA NA CLÍNICA CIRÚRGICA* PREVALENCE OF INTRINSIC RISK FACTORS FOR PATIENTS IN FALL OUTCOMES IN A SURGICAL CLINICABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify the prevalence of intrinsic fall risk factors during a patient's hospitalization. It also involved a search for records of patients' falls in January 2015 in a surgical hospitalization unit. Research was conducted from January to March 2015. Presence and absence of risk factors intrinsic to falling were considered. Five cases (5.1%) of falling were registered in 98 participants. Association of risk factors in patients that had fallen showed that 100% (5) of patients had risk factor of impaired vision, 80% (4) were more than 65 years old and had anemia. The principal focus was to reduce fall occurrences in the setting of this study. Future research intends to delve deeper on the subject of educational technology development in order to reduce the incidence of falling in the studied setting.
