ABSTRACT
Objective: to analyze the association between nurses’ adherence to a fall prevention protocol and demographic, professional and self-efficacy variables. Method: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 23 nurses at a university hospital in Cuiabá, using a self-efficacy questionnaire and the Perceived and General Self-Efficacy Scale. The nurses’ adherence to the fall prevention protocol was measured by checking the number of fall risk assessment records in the nurses’ records within 24 hours of patient admission. Results: participant mean age was 37.56 years and 91.3% were female, with an average of 11.43 years of training; 39.13% of the nurses adhered to the protocol and nurses’ adherence differed significantly between units (p = 0.006). Conclusion: an association was found between nurses’ adherence to a fall prevention protocol and the units where they worked. The characteristics of patients admitted to these units may have influenced adherence.
RESUMEN
Objetivo: analizar la asociación entre la adhesión de enfermeros a un protocolo de prevención de caídas y las variables demográficas, profesionales y de autoeficacia. Método: estudio transversal junto a 23 enfermeros de un hospital universitario de Cuiabá. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de un cuestionario y de la Escala de Autoeficacia General. La medida de la adherencia de los enfermeros al protocolo de prevención de caídas se realizó mediante la verificación del número de registros de evaluación del riesgo de caídas en las historias de los enfermeros dentro de las 24 horas posteriores al ingreso del paciente. Resultados: la edad media de los participantes fue de 37,56 años y el 91,3% eran mujeres, con un promedio de 11,43 años de formación. La adhesión al protocolo fue del 39,13%. Hubo una diferencia significativa en la adherencia de los enfermeros en cuanto a las clínicas (p = 0,006). Conclusión: se evidenció la asociación entre la adherencia de los enfermeros a un protocolo de prevención de caídas y las unidades en las que laboran.
