Application of Hardware Equipment in Preventing Falls in Elderly Hospitalized Patients

Objective: To apply hardware equipment to elderly hospitalized patients and analyze its effect.Methods: Convenience sampling method was adopted, and 116 patients admitted to the geriatrics department of a tertiary hospital in Chifeng City from October 2021 to February 2022 were included in the study. Grouping by random number table method, the final experimental group and control group included 58 cases each. The patients in the control group were given routine care, and the patients in the experimental group were given hospital hardware equipment on this basis. The incidence of falls and nursing satisfaction in the two groups of patients during hospitalization were analyzed.Results: After applying hardware equipment to elderly inpatients, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05), but the incidence of falls in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group; the nursing satisfaction of the patients in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant Significance (P<0.05).Conclusion: In view of the particularity of the elderly hospitalized patients, in the process of nursing them, the application of hardware equipment can reduce the incidence of falls and improve the nursing satisfaction of patients, which is worthy of popularization and application in clinical practice.
