Abstract: Objective: To explore the effects of visual education on prevention of fall in inpatients. Methods: Having analyzed the incidence of falls of inpatients from January to December in 2013 and obtained the topmost causes, we made videos and pictures for fall prevention. Lastly, we applied scenario and videos education accompanied by normal care to patients at high risk of falling in five wards from April 2014 to March 2015. We compared the incidence of falls of patients between baseline and post-intervention.We also randomly surveyed inpatients' cognition, behavior, and satisfaction to fall prevention measures. Results: The constituent ratio of inpatients at low, medium and high risk of fall in pilot ward were not significant between pre and post-intervention (P>0.05). The incidence rate of falling of inpatients before and after the intervention, link relative ratio, significantly lower (28.26%~46.34%), has clinical significance. the inpatients' cognition and behavior of prevention of fall were obviously improved (P<0.01). The satisfaction of prevention measures were 91.76%. Conclusions: Inpatients with medium and high risk of fall are the main groups of the falling.Visual education accompanied with falling grading care could effectively reduce the incidence of falls in inpatients and improve inpatients' awareness and satisfaction of fall prevention, and can also effectively reduce the potential medical disputes.
