Abstract

Newborn falls are the most under-researched and under-reported incidents, though adults and paediatric patients have various published and standardized tools for assessing the risk of fall. This study was conducted to assess the compliance of nurses ’in using modified fall risk assessment scale for newborns. The compliance of nurses who used modified neonatal fall risk assessment scale for newborns among the nurses working in labour ward, OT and postnatal ward was 80% on day 3. The findings showed that modified fall risk assessment scale for newborns can be utilized by neonatal and maternity care units.
