As causas das quedas são multifatoriais e os fármacos têm um contributo significativo. O objetivo deste trabalho é explorar a associação entre os fármacos e as quedas e a sua recorrência (n≥2), no período de internamento, num hospital da grande Lisboa, entre junho de 2008 e dezembro de 2010. O seu desenho é retrospectivo, a partir de uma amostra de 214 episódios de notificação de incidente de queda de 190 doentes. Através da técnica de consenso face a face, emergiram os grupos terapêuticos a pesquisar. Na análise dos dados utilizou-se o t de student, ANOVA e Odds Ratio. Os doentes que efetuam fármacos associados ao risco de queda, têm 10 vezes mais risco de queda (OR=9,90; IC95%; 1,61-60,63), em especial quando pertencem ao grupo terapêutico do Sistema Nervoso Central. Foi identificada associação com as quedas e sua recorrência e estar medicado com haloperidol (OR=6,09; IC95%; 1,30-28,54) (OR=3,32; IC95%; 1,61-6,85). Este estudo permitiu identificar fatores que os enfermeiros devem ter em atenção na prescrição de intervenções, para prevenção das quedas e sua recorrência, aos doentes internados em hospitais de cuidados agudos.
The causes of falls are multifactorial and medications make a significant contribution. The objective of this study is to explore the association between medications and falls and recurrent falls (n ≥ 2) in the hospitalization period in a large hospital in Lisbon between June 2008 and December 2010. Its design is retrospective, using a sample of 214 episodes of fall event notification from 190 patients. Through the technique of face-to-face consensus, the treatment groups to be investigated emerged. In the data analysis we used the Student’s t test, ANOVA and Odds Ratio. Patients taking medications associated with risk of falling are 10 times more likely to have fall risk (OR=9.90;95%CI;1.61-60.63), especially when taking medications from groups affecting the central nervous system. An association was found between falls and their recurrence and being medicated with haloperidol (OR=6,09;95%CI;1,30-28,54) (OR=3,32;95%CI;1,61-6,85).This study allowed identification of factors that nurses should consider when prescribing interventions to prevent falls and their recurrence when patients are admitted to acute care hospitals.
