ABSTRACT Falls are a daily occurrence in nursing homes and few interventions for reducing fall-related injuries have proven to be effective. Impact absorbing flooring (IAF) in residential care has shown promising results in reducing fall-injuries and in the process of developing and implementing IAF all aspects are valuable to explore. Therefore, the aim of this qualitative study is to describe the enrolled nurses (ENs) experiences of IAF. We carried out focus group interviews with ENs and used content analysis to process the data. The ENs experienced both negative and positive aspects with the IAF. Importantly, the ENs perceived the IAF as effective in preventing fall-injuries. They also appreciated the improvements in acoustics. Negative aspects were that the flooring initially was challenging to walk on and that it made it harder to maneuver heavy equipment. A significant and transferable finding in this study was the importance of the ENs' perceived difficulty in preventing fall-injuries amongst elderly people living in nursing homes. This seemed to be a driving force to accept the intervention. Although IAF affects the working conditions in a nursing home, ENs are willing to accept these issues given the perceived effectiveness of the intervention.

从登记护士的角度看吸震地板在住院护理中的作用

摘要 跌倒是疗养院每天都会发生的事情，很少有减少跌倒相关伤害的干预措施被证明是有效的。住宅护理中的冲击吸收地板 (IAF) 在减少跌倒伤害方面显示出有希望的结果，并且在开发和实施 IAF 的过程中，所有方面都值得探索。因此，这项定性研究的目的是描述 IAF 的注册护士 (EN) 经历。我们对 EN 进行了焦点小组访谈，并使用内容分析来处理数据。EN 与 IAF 经历了消极和积极的方面。重要的是，EN 认为 IAF 可有效防止跌倒伤害。他们还赞赏声学方面的改进。不利的方面是，地板最初难以行走，并且难以操纵重型设备。本研究中一个重要且可转移的发现是 EN 在预防住在疗养院的老年人中发生跌倒伤害方面的困难的重要性。这似乎是接受干预的驱动力。尽管 IAF 会影响疗养院的工作条件，但鉴于干预的有效性，EN 愿意接受这些问题。
