Question

In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student's ability to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.

For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the "Literature Evaluation Table," determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected. The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

	How many falls occur with assistance in psychiatric care settings.
	What are the factors contributing to psychiatric inpatient falls
	How the medications influences psychiatric inpatient falls
	What are the different assessment tools for reducing the falls 
	Purposes/Aim of Study
	Estimate the incidence of falls (total, injurious, and assisted) in U.S. psychiatric care across 6 years
	To investigate the factors contributing to psychiatric inpatient falls
	To investigate the incidence rate and risk factors related to falls among acute psychiatric inpatients in a regional hospita
	To conduct an assessment of the unit’s current, fall risk
assessment tool, interventions, and processes, while collecting and analyzing data of each fall
and patients who have fallen

	1,159 units in 720 hospitals
	Data of 1000 patients

	Methods: Intervention/Instruments
	Data on falls among patients of adult and geriatric psychiatric units of general, acute care, and psychiatric hospital inpatient units from the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators were used for this 6-year study
	Nursing Interventions; setting up a voiding schedule, monitoring cognitively impaired individuals regularly, assisting patients to the bathroom, and reviewing medications with the physician (Abraham 2016,p.10)
	Authors compared differences between the fall and non-fall groups in demographic characteristics, psychiatric diagnoses, medication use, psychotic symptoms, and Timed Up and Go scores. Chi-square tests were used for comparison of categorical variables and t-test was used for continuous variable
	Education on the use of a fall risk
assessment tool that is appropriate for the acute-psychiatric population, instead of the current
Schmid Fall Risk Assessment Tool that is used for all departments of the hospital and training
for nurses
	Analysis
	It is also possible that improving fall prevention practices would increase the likelihood of staff assistance during falls in psychiatric units. Hospitals often put fall prevention protocols in place that increase monitoring of at-risk patients, such as staff assigned to sit with patient (Jo et al 2020,p.899)
	Falls in hospitals are a significant nursing clinical problem, with legal implications, and regulatory consequences. Trauma, bone fractures and even death can result from falls, leading to psychological trauma, fear of falling and debilitation in activities of daily living
	Patients using more kinds of medications had a higher risk of falls, which is consistent with previous studies. Compared with the use of 4 or more medications, the use of the general category of psychotropic medications increases the risk of 1 or more falls among women (Pan et al 2018,p.12)
	costs for falls to
Medicare alone totaled over $31 billion in the United States. Adjusted to 2010 dollars, one fall
without serious injury costs hospitals an additional $3,500, while patients with more than 2 falls
without serious injury have increased costs of $16,500 (Deano 2016,p.45).
