Intervenciones del enfermero en la prevención de caídas en el niño hospitalizado: scoping review

Autoría SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

RESUMEN

Objetivos: mapear tanto las intervenciones de enfermería de prevención de caídas en edad pediátrica durante el internamiento hospitalario cuanto los instrumentos de evaluación del riesgo de caída en pediatría.

Métodos: scoping review según protocolo de Joanna Briggs Institute, con acrónimo PCC (P - niños, C - intervenciones de enfermería preventivas de caída e instrumentos de evaluación del riesgo de caída, C - internamiento hospitalario), en tres fuentes de información (EBSCO, PubMed y SciELO).

Resultados: la muestra ha sido constituida por siete artículos. La educación del niño/familia es la base de las intervenciones, y los instrumentos de evaluación del riesgo de caída identificados han sido: Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale, GRAF PIF, CUMMINGS, I'M SAFE y CHAMPS.

Conclusiones: la educación de los niños/padres sobre las medidas preventivas es importante y debe ser reforzada durante el internamiento, siendo utilizadas diferentes metodologías. La escala Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale ha sido la más analizada.

Title	Results
Competencies of the Nurse in the Prevention of Falls in Children in the Light of the Galway Consensus (2017) ⁽²⁶⁾	- Most used fall prevention nursing interventions were: inform whether the child can walk or not (97.5%), educate the child/caregiver about the risk of falling (92.5%), assess the risk of falls at the moment after admission (92.5%), arrange for transportation on a stretcher or wheelchair (95%), keep one of the crates lifted from the cradle during the child's clothes/diaper change (92.5%). - Less used fall prevention nursing interventions were: checking the prescription of medication that alters mobility and balance (72.5%), registering the child's risk of falling in the computer process as well as the interventions carried out in its prevention (72.5%), report the fall incidents (72.5%).
Development of a Paediatric Fall Risk And Injury Reduction Program (2016) ⁽²⁰⁾	- Use an instrument to assess the risk of falls in paediatrics. - Guide all health professionals towards the implementation of preventive measures.
Impatient Falls in Freestanding Children's Hospitals (2014) ⁽²¹⁾	- Presence of the caregiver as a strategy: 77% of the children had an adult present at the time of the fall, of which 90% actually witnessed the fall. - Strategies for reducing the risk of falls: signalling children (87%) at risk of falling; existence of risk communication (66%), risk registration in the care plan (49%), risk signalling in the child's identification (21%) and the use of another identification method (14%).
Paediatric Falls: Effect of prevention measures and characteristics of paediatric wards (2013) ⁽²³⁾	- The fall rate was lower in units that implemented the following measures: "sharing information with the high-risk patient", "removing obstacles in the passage circuits", "using an information leaflet to educate children/caregivers about the proper use of crib/bed rails/protections", "use of a fall risk assessment tool", "select the type of bed according to the child's characteristics", "help in walking the child with a high risk of falling", "keep the unit organized", "educate the child/caregiver more than once". - The fall rate was significantly higher in the units that implemented the measure "educate, only in verbal form, about the correct use of bed rails" in relation to those that did not implement it.
An interdisciplinary momentary confluence of events model to explain, minimize, and prevent paediatric patient falls and fall-related injuries (2013) ⁽²⁵⁾	- Start with the risk assessment of falls based on scores of risk assessment tools for falls. - Important to notify the cases of fall.

Title	Results
An Integrative Review of Paediatric Fall Risk Assessment Tools (2017) ⁽²²⁾	- Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale, created by Hill Rodrigues (2009) (seven items evaluated: age, sex, diagnosis, cognitive impairment, environmental factors, response to surgery or sedation/anaesthesia, use of medications). - GRAF PIF, created by Graf, (2011). Five items: length of stay, IV/free heparin block, physical/occupational activity, medication, orthopaedic diagnosis. 75% sensitivity and 78% specificity. - CUMMINGS has six items: history of falling, physical function, cognitive/psychological impairment, need for equipment and medication. Three levels of risk (no risk, low risk, high risk); there is no data on sensitivity or specificity. - I'M SAFE, created by Neiman et al. (2011) assesses six items, similar to the HFDS scale, and the score would be three levels (low, moderate and high risk), with no risk considered. - CHAMPS, created by Ramus et al. (2006) assesses six items: altered state of consciousness, history of previous fall, age less than 3 years, mobility problems, parental involvement and safety measures in place. 75% sensitivity and 79% specificity. - The instruments should be used in the initial assessment, but they cannot be out of step with the child's specificity.
Development of a Paediatric Fall Risk And Injury Reduction Program (2016) ⁽²⁰⁾	The fall risk assessment scale was the Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale, which includes the risk factors for falls in paediatrics.
Impatient Falls in Freestanding Children's Hospitals (2014) ⁽²¹⁾	Risk assessment instruments used and their sensitivity: GRAF-PIF, 37%; Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale, 52%; CHAMPS, 66%.
Paediatric Falls: Effect of prevention measures and characteristics of paediatric wards (2013) ⁽²³⁾	- Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale assesses six risk factors. 84% sensitivity and 24% specificity. - GRAF PIF: assesses five risk factors (previously mentioned). 75% sensitivity and 78% specificity.
A case-control study of paediatric falls using electronic medical records (2013) ⁽²⁴⁾	- CHAMPS evaluates six items (previously mentioned) - GRAF PIF evaluates five items (previously mentioned) - Humpty Dumpty Falls Scale evaluates six items. 57% sensitivity and 39% specificity.
