ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Delirium is an important issue related to mortality in patients treated in intensive care units. LOCALPROBLEM:
Although there are guidelines for preventing delirium, its importance may be overlooked compared with the treatment of physical illness.METHODS:
A 2-step delirium prevention campaign (DPC) was implemented and its effects compared (before and after the DPC).INTERVENTIONS:
The DPC comprised the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit and a checklist for delirium prevention.RESULTS:
Hospital mortality declined after the DPC, but there were no significant changes in the incidence and duration of delirium.CONCLUSIONS:
Nurses led the delirium preventive care intervention. Delirium prevention care may be more effective with policy approaches to progress the DPC.
