摘要

Objectives:To study the risk of falling and self-efficacy in elderly patients with hip fracture.Methodology:Forty elderly patients with hip fractures that were caused by falling were admitted into our hospital from April 2018 to April 2019,and were enrolled into this study.All patients were assessed by using the Morse Fall Scale(MFS)and Falls Efficacy Scale(FES).The basic situation of the patients with hip fractures caused by falling and the scores of MFS and FES before and after falling were evaluated.Results:Results showed that the number of patients with femoral neck fractures accounted for 70%out of all patients,and the number of patients with intertrochanteric fractures accounted for the remaining 30%of the patients.The number of patients with academic qualification below primary school is 16,the number of patients with middle high school education is 11 and the number of patients with high school education and above is 13.Slipping is the cause of hip fracture that accounted for the most in patients,followed by outing activities,whereas least patients with hip fractures was caused by falling in nursing home.There were 29 patients’who used crutches or walking aids and this number was more than that of those who required the devices.After the MFS and FES analyses,the results(scores of MFS and FES)showed that the risk before the fall was lower.In contrast,the risk of fracture and post-surgery after the fall was greatly increased.Conclusion:The elderly patients with hip fractures were found to have increased risk of falling and thus,these patients require good care.
