What this Trial Is About
This research aims to better understand risk behaviors in bedridden and agitated patients hospitalized in a neurosurgery department. These patients often face agitation or confusion linked to neurological or cognitive disorders, which can lead to unsafe behaviors and increase the risk of falls and injuries. The study focuses on identifying how often and what types of risk behaviors occur to help caregivers anticipate and prevent harm more effectively. The study is observational and involves closely monitoring patients over a hospital stay of at least nine days. Researchers will observe and record the number of risk behaviors during one-hour periods each day for nine consecutive days. These observations aim to capture potentially dangerous behaviors that serve as warning signs for caregivers to improve patient safety. Participants will be hospitalized in the Neurosurgery Department and monitored throughout their stay. The research includes assessing daily risk behavior counts, focusing on agitation and confusion symptoms. Safety, emotional distress of caregivers, and economic effects related to injuries and extended hospitalization are also considered. The study will measure risk behaviors continuously over the nine-day period to gather comprehensive data on patient safety risks.
