Of the 50 patients in the TBI project, 70% (thirty-fve) were males
and 30% (ffeen) were females. Six sitter sessions were utilized during
the three months of program implementation for mild TBI patients
with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 13 to 15. Tis result was compared
to the comparative TBI population with a GCS of 13 to 15 for the three
months preceding program implementation, where there were 30 sitter
sessions utilized for 58 TBI patients (Figure 1).
Te daily cognitive evaluations by the nursing staf were completed
during the morning initial patient assessment on a daily basis
throughout program implementation. Te use of the O-Log by the
nursing staf provided a consistent guideline of questions to assess the
level of patient orientation. Te cognitive evaluation consisted of place,
time and circumstance. Place was evaluated by asking the patient for
the name of the city and the hospital. Time was evaluated by asking
for the name of the month, the date, the year, the day of the week, and
the time of day. Circumstance was evaluated by asking the patient to
recall what event occurred, and to describe what injury occurred. Te
cognitive evaluations were maintained on a daily basis by the nursing
staf from time of patient admission to day of hospital discharge.
