Abstract
Objective To analyze the causes of tumble in patients with cancer,and to explore effective prevention measures.Methods The data on 19 patients with cancer who occurred accidental tumble in the radiotherapy wards during the period of January 2007 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 7 (36.84％) patients were 41-50 years old.The patients were at the greatest risk of accidental tumble between this age range.13 (68.42％) patients had nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).However,there was no difference among the cancer types corrected with the number of hospitalized patients.11 (57.90％) patients tumbled between 6:01 am to 12:00 am.8 (42.11％) patients developed tumble in bathrooms.The factors affecting tumble in patients included orthostatic hypotension in 8 patients,hypoglycemia reactions in 6,brain lesions in 2,adverse reaction in 1,and negligence in 2,which accounted for 42.11％,31.58％,10.53％,5.26％,and 10.53％,respectively.Conclusions For the high-risk factors including patient conditions and treatment response,we need to provide patient-oriented,effective methods for tumble prevention such as enhancing communication with patients and their families,strengthening safety awareness in healthcare workers and patients,and developing individualized education precautious to intensify supervision in order to avoid the risks of tumble in hospitalized patients with cancer.关键词
