Abstract
A patient fall is an unplanned descent to the floor or other surface, with or without injury, that occurs while a patient is under the care of a healthcare provider or facility. Slips can cause patient falls, trips, falls from bed or chair, falls during transfer, and falls due to medical conditions. Falls can result in physical injuries, such as fractures, head trauma, soft tissue injury, and lacerations. Patient safety is a critical aspect of healthcare quality and is essential for preventing patient harm, enhancing patient safety and promoting trust in healthcare provider and system care. Methodology A quantitative descriptive research design was used in the study. The study was conducted at SGRR College of nursing, Patel Nagar, Dehradun, India. The conceptual framework used in this study was “Ludwig Von Bertalanffy’s general system theory”. A total of 80 samples were selected through the non probability convenience sampling technique. Data was collected using a socio demographic profile, a structured knowledge questionnaire, and a Likert attitude scale. The data was analyzed by using inferential and descriptive statistics. Results revealed that the level of knowledge was increased after the structured teaching program, the pretest mean is 22.20 and the posttest mean is 28.14. The attitude level is overall positive towards patient safety and prevention of falls. Knowledge and attitude are weakly correlated. Pearson’s correlation coefficient r analysis is 0.21. Conclusion Most of the students do not an appropriate knowledge regarding patient safety and the prevention of falls. After the structured teaching programme, the knowledge and attitude regarding patient safety and prevention of falls significantly improved and enhanced.
