居家防跌策略的核心在於消除環境中的潛在危險因子(Environmental hazards)。長者常因視力退化、步態不穩或反應變慢,容易被地毯邊緣、電線或走道雜物絆倒。此外,浴室是跌倒的高風險區域,潮濕地面與缺乏支撐點常導致意外。護理師應評估病人的居家環境,建議移除散置地毯(Scatter rugs)、加裝扶手,並改善照明以提升安全性。防滑措施如貼條亦能有效增加摩擦力,預防滑倒。
The cornerstone of home fall-prevention strategies is the elimination of potential environmental hazards. Older adults often trip over rug edges, electrical cords, or items in walkways because of declining vision, unsteady gait, or slower reaction times. In addition, the bathroom is a high-risk area for falls, as wet floors and the lack of support points frequently lead to accidents. The nurse should assess the client's home environment and recommend removing scatter rugs, installing grab bars, and improving lighting to enhance safety. Anti-slip measures such as adhesive strips also effectively increase friction and help prevent slipping.
