Rev Esc Enferm USP2014; 48(3):537-51 www.ee.usp.br/reeusp/ RESUMEN Objetivo: Identificar los factores de riesgo para la ocurrencia de caídas en pacientes adultos hospitalizados. Método: Revisión integradora de la literatura de artículos publicados entre los años 1989 al 2012 en las bases de datos LILACS, SciElO, MEDLINE y Web of Science. Resultados: La muestra final estuvo compuesta por setenta y un artículos. Entre los factores de riesgo de caídas indicados en esta revisión están los relacionados con el paciente (intrínsecos), con el ambiente hospitalario y con el proceso de trabajo de los profesionales de la salud, especialmente enfermería (extrínse-cos). Conclusión: La detección sistemática de factores de riesgo asociados a caídas fue identificada como un factor que contribuye a la reducción de este daño, favoreciendo de esta manera su no ocurrencia, la que a pesar de ser prevenible puede acarrear consecuencias graves, incluyendo la muerte.

RESUMOObjetivo: Identificar os fatores de risco para a ocorrência de quedas em pacientes adultos hospitalizados. Método: Revisão integrativa realizada nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE e Web of Science, abrangendo artigos publicados entre 1989 e 2012. Resultados: Setenta e um artigos compuseram a amostra final do estudo. Os fatores de risco para quedas apresentados nesta revisão foram relacionados ao paciente (intrínsecos), ao ambiente hospitalar e ao processo de trabalho dos profissionais da saúde, em especial à enfermagem (extrínsecos). Conclusão: A triagem sistemática de fatores de risco para queda foi identificada como fator contribuinte para a redução desse agravo, auxiliando a não ocorrência deste evento que, apesar de ser prevenível, pode determinar consequên-cias graves incluindo o óbito.

ABSTRACTObjective: Identifying risk factors for the occurrence of falls in hospitalized adult patients. Method: Integrative review carried out in the databases of LILACS, SciELO, ME-DLINE and Web of Science, including articles published between 1989 and 2012. Results: Seventy-one articles were included in the final sample. Risk factors for falls presented in this review were related to patients (intrinsic), the hospital setting and the working process of health professionals, especially in nursing (extrinsic). Conclusion: The systematic screening of risk factors for falls was identified as a contributing factor to the reduction of this injury, helping the nonoccurrence of this event that, despite being preventable, can have serious consequences including death.
DESCRIPTORS
AIM: to evaluate the clinical applicability of outcomes, according to the Nursing
Outcomes Classification (NOC) in the evolution of orthopedic patients with
Impaired Physical Mobility METHOD: longitudinal study conducted in 2012 in a university hospital, with 21 patients
undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty, evaluated daily by pairs of trained data
collectors. Data were collected using an instrument containing five Nursing
Outcomes, 16 clinical indicators and a five point Likert scale, and statistically
analyzed. RESULTS: The outcomes Body Positioning: self-initiated, Mobility, Knowledge: prescribed
activity, and Fall Prevention Behavior presented significant increases in mean
scores when comparing the first and final evaluations (p<0.001) and (p=0.035).
CONCLUSION: the use of the NOC outcomes makes it possible to demonstrate the clinical
progression of orthopedic patients with Impaired Physical Mobility, as well as its
applicability in this context.
Nursing Outcomes Classification is a viable alternative for the assessment of nursing care outcomes. Further studies should investigate the applicability of these data in clinical practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
