ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the safety of hospitalized older adults as for the risk of falls according to the parameters of the Morse Fall Scale. Method: Epidemiological, cross-sectional, prospective and descriptive study with n=75. Results: Average age of 71.3 years (SD±8.2); 58.7% male; 44% with low educational level; 38.7% hospitalized for cardiovascular diseases; average hospitalization of 10 days (SD±9.38); 78.7% with comorbidities; 61.3% with the calf circumference ≥ 31 cm; 62.7% were former smokers for more than 10 years; 65% did not drink alcohol; 100% did not have identification bracelet; 22.7% had similar names in the infirmary; 48% took up to five medicines; and 93.3% received some invasive procedure, especially the vessel puncture (65.3%). There was a high risk of falls in 52% of older adults. Conclusion: The results pointed to imminent risk of breach of patient safety, emphasizing the need for implementation of protocols and predictive scales such as the Morse scale.

The Impact

Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe the incidence, management and impact of pain on behavior and delirium in hospitalized older adults living with dementia. This was a descriptive study using baseline data from patients in the first cohort of the Fam-FFC study which evaluates the impact of a family-engaged function-focused care intervention in hospitalized patients with dementia. The majority of the sample was female (70%) and black (80%) with a mean age of 82.5 (SD=8.9). Pain (PAINAD) was reported by 36% of the patients; 42% of those demonstrating pain were prescribed analgesics. Controlling for age, gender and baseline cognition, pain was significantly associated with behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia ( t =2.1, p= .034) and delirium severity (t = 4.9, p<.0001). Results suggest the need for pain assessment and individualized treatment plans to promote comfort and decrease behavioral and delirium symptoms in hospitalized persons with dementia.
