Application of ACMMM management model in elderly patients with unsafe events / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the application of ACMMM management model in elderly patients with unsafe events.@*Methods@#A retrospective analysis of elderly patients who had been hospitalized for more than three months at the Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from May 2017 to May 2018 was performed. According to the patient′s hospitalization time, they were divided into group A and group B. Group A was hospitalized between May 2016 and May 2017 (n=1 258), and group B was hospitalized between June 2017 and May 2018 (n=1 309). Patients in group A were given routine nursing intervention, and patients in group B were combined to implement ACMMM management model intervention on the basis of routine nursing intervention. The incidence of various types of unsafe events in the two groups of patients was compared. The severity of the fall in the two groups of patients was compared. Comparison of nursing satisfaction between the two groups of patients.@*Results@#In group A, 47 patients had unsafe events, 11 patients in group B had unsafe events, and group A had higher incidence of unsafe events than group B (χ2=24.358, P<0.05). In group A, the frequency of pressure sores and burns was higher than that of group B (χ2=7.966, 4.353, 5.800, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of occurrence of falling, suffocation, self-injury, and misuse between the two groups (P>0.05). The severity of patients with falls in group A was higher than that in group B (Z=-2.124, P<0.05). The satisfaction of nursing in group B was 79.53%(1 041/1 309), the satisfaction of nursing in group A was 57.15%(719/1 258), and the satisfaction degree in group B was better than that in group A. The data were statistically significant (Z=-15.238, χ2=148.962, P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#The use of ACMMM management model for long-term hospitalized elderly patients with nursing intervention can effectively reduce the incidence of unsafe events in elderly patients, reduce the severity of falls and other related injuries, and effectively improve patient care satisfaction.
