Abstract

Stürze von Pflegebedürftigen sind häufige Ereignisse - und sie sind zurecht gefürchtet. Denn jeder Sturz eines Pflegebedürftigen bringt Pflegekräfte in Zugzwang: Sie müssen die Risiken einschätzen, jeden Sturz analysieren und daraus Verbesserungsmaßnahmen ableiten. Gleichzeitig gehört ein Sturz zum allgemeinen Lebensrisiko jedes Menschen. Ein Sturz lässt sich nicht immer verhindern. Auch Pflegebedürftige brauchen Bewegungsfreiheit. Wie also gelingt es, Sicherheit und Freiheit gleichermaßen zu gewährleisten? Was tun, wenn ein Pflegebedürftiger immer wieder stürzt? Dieses kompakte Buch zeigt t

Abstract

In woonzorgcentra valt 30 tot 70% van de bewoners één maal per jaar, waarvan 15 tot 40% meerdere keren per jaar. Dit gemiddelde ligt tot driemaal hoger dan in de thuissituatie. Een val kan leiden tot ernstige lichamelijke, psychosociale en economische gevolgen. De praktijkrichtlijn heeft als doel een overzicht te bieden van wat effectief is in het voorkomen van valincidenten bij ouderen verblijvend in woonzorgcentra. Het kan helpen om in de dagelijkse praktijk valincidenten te detecteren, evalueren en behandelen, om zo nieuwe valincidenten en de mogelijk ernstige gevolgen te voorkomen.De praktijkrichtlijn is onderverdeeld in 5 hoofdstukken.Het 1ste hoofdstuk, maatregelen op voorzieningsniveau, bestaat uit algemene maatregelen die zich niet specifiek richten op het individueel risicoprofiel van elke bewoner, zoals educatie en sensibilisatie van medewerkers van de voorziening. Een 2de hoofdstuk bevat individuele valpreventiemaatregelen. Deze maatregelen zijn specifi ek afgestemd op de individuele bewoner, waardoor de praktijkrichtlijn kan worden toegepast bij ouderen met een diversiteit aan zorgafhankelijkheid. Het 3de hoofdstuk, individuele fractuurpreventiemaatregelen, geeft een overzicht van maatregelen die kunnen worden toegepast ter preventie van fracturen. In het 4de hoofdstuk wordt gekeken naar follow-up. Het 5de en laatste hoofdstuk betreft de implementatie van de praktijkrichtlijn in de eigen voorziening.

Abstract

This book examines pedestrian shoe-floor slip resistance from an engineering standpoint in order to better understand friction and wear behavior. This analysis includes an extensive investigation into the surface properties of shoes and flow, and the measurement of dynamic friction and other mechanical and physical aspects of shoe-floor tribology. Lastly, the book proposes a measurement concept for the identification and classification of operational floor surfaces under a range of different conditions. Novel techniques and methods are proposed that can improve the reliability of slip resistance assessments. The current state of knowledge is critically examined and discussed from a tribological perspective, including aspects like friction, wear, lubrication and the mechanical behavior of shoes, floors and their wider environment. Further, the book reports on extensive experimental investigations into the topographical characteristics of shoe and floor surfaces and how they affect slip resistance. Slips resulting in pedestrian falls are a major cause of injuries and deaths for all age groups. This important book provides essential insights for researchers, practicing engineers and public safety officials wishing to learn about how the risk of pedestrian slips can be assessed and understood.

Abstract

As the share of the population aged 65 and over grows rapidly in the next decades across most of the OECD, the number of fall-related injuries could rise dramatically, and with it, the strains on hospitals, medical services, social services and public budgets. This OECD review of risk management policies focuses on Sweden because, with the ageing of its society already at a quite advanced stage, it exemplifies many of the current and future problems that OECD countries face in addressing fall-related injuries and fatalities among the elderly. The report looks at Sweden's policies in the area of older people's safety and well-being, seeking out and identifying good practices and areas where improvements could be made. It offers lessons that other countries can also draw from. While the report underscores the importance of the management of fall accidents, it also emphasizes the more general point that multidisciplinary and forward-looking approaches to safety and risk are essential for any policy concerning older people.
