Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to improve the Humpty Dumpty Fall Scale (HDFS) to better predict fall risks in hospitalized children, enhancing their safety.
- A secondary analysis of data from 2428 patients revealed that gender and medication use did not impact fall risk, leading to their removal from the scale's scoring system.
- The modified HDFS now has a scoring range of 5 to 20, with scores of 12 or higher indicating high fall risk, and shows an 84% sensitivity in identifying such risks.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify a set of factors that describes nursing satisfaction in the pediatric setting.
