| Research Abstract |
In this research, a prediction scale of postoperative confusion has been developed. The confusion prediction scale consists of two sets of items; the first set consists of two items concerning sleep, and the second set consists of five items concerning demographic. These items in the scale were clarified by sleep-measurements to postoperative patients and questionnaires investigation to nurses. The two sets of items in sleep and demographic are corresponding individually; “the deep sleep of daytime” and “nighttime awakening”; and “the past of cerebrovascular disease”, “hypnotic drug use”,” psychotropic drug use”,” nursing home resident” and“use of day care services”. A score of each item is defined as presence (1) or absence (0), and an evaluation degree of the confusion prediction scale is defined as a summation of a total score of the all items. This research shows a result that a patient whose evaluation degrees of the sleep items and the demographic items are both equals to or above 1 is likely to be confused after operation.
