Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients who are deemed by the ward clinicians to be at risk of falling from the bed due to one or more of the following reasons:
- Frailty due to old age (E.g. 65 years or older)
- Frailty due to medical conditions (E.g. hypotension)
- Frailty due to mental conditions (E.g. dementia)
- Frailty due to physical conditions (E.g. amputation or injury)
- Frailty due to medication(s)
- Patients who are able to give informed consent will be included. In addition, any patients who are unable to consent to participation in this study due to a lack of mental capacity but are assessed by the ward matron to benefit from participation in this study will also be included. Where possible, consent will be obtained from close relatives or legal guardians in this case. These patients are a particularly vulnerable group and their interests must therefore be protected. They should be given the same opportunities to participate in ethically designed research projects as those who do not lack capacity but must not be put at unwarranted risk.
Exclusion
- Patients under 18 years of age Patients who are in an unconscious or comatose state, physically restrained to the bed, or otherwise completely unable to move under their own power and thus not at risk of falling out of their bed
