Abstract

Objective: Evaluate and characterize the patients falls in a hospital in Southern Brazil. Method: Descriptive and retrospective study of 73 reports of falls in a hospital in Southern Brazil, from January 2016 to December 2019. Secondary data obtained by the institution's Patient Safety Center and the Morse Fall Scale were used, in a descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Most of the patients who suffered falls were male (60.3%), >61 years old (50.6%), clinical treatment (89.0%), patients with neoplasms (43.8%) in continuous medication use (91.8%). The falls occurred from their own same height (67.1%), in the bathroom (56.2%) and in the night shift (50.0%). In 50.7% of the falls there was damage to the patient, mild damage (62.2%), moderate damage (32.4%) and severe damage (5.4%). Conclusion: Improving the understanding of falls and their consequences can help health professionals in assessing risks and establishing preventive measures.
