Application value of the fall management in elderly patients treated with colonoscopy based on the PISETI management model

ObjectiveTo explore the application effects of the management process of elderly patients with colonoscopy treatment based on PISETI management model in the prevention of falls.

MethodsA total of 130 patients ≥60 years old scheduled by colonoscopy were selected, and randomly divided into the PISETI management model group(observation group) and routine care group(control group).The corresponding measures in formulating the fall management process based on PISETI management model in the observation group were implemented according to the patient report, information access, signage, environment, teamwork, involving patient or family and other aspects, and the control group was nursed with routine measures to prevent falls.The differences in the timely rate of fall risk assessment, knowledge of fall prevention of patients and their families, rate of fall prevention markers, rate of environmental safety, and incidence rate of fall between two groups were compared.

ResultsThe timely rate of fall risk assessment, knowledge of fall prevention of patients and their families, rate of fall prevention markers and rate of environmental safety in observation group were significantly better than those in control group(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).No patient fell in two groups.

ConclusionsThe fall prevention management process based on PISETI management model can promote the implementation of relevant fall prevention measures for elderly patients treated with colonoscopy, which is worthy of clinical application.
