摘要
The relationships between hospital Magnet (R) status, nursing unit staffing, and patient falls were examined in a cross-sectional study using 2004 National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI (R)) data from 5,388 units in 108 Magnet and 528 non-Magnet hospitals. In multivariate models, the fall rate was 5% lower in Magnet than non-Magnet hospitals. An additional registered nurse (RN) hour per patient day was associated with a 3% lower fall rate in ICUs. An additional licensed practical nurse (LPN) or nursing assistant (NA) hour was associated with a 2-4% higher fall rate in non-ICUs. Patient safety may be improved by creating environments consistent with Magnet hospital standards. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Res Nurs Health 33:413-425, 2010
