Objective To analyze the role of innovative traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention models in the safety management of falls in elderly patients. Method A total of 86 elderly patients who received treatment at the hospital from April 2022 to April 2024 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a control group (conventional nursing, n=43) and an experimental group (innovative traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention model, n=43) using a numerical table random sorting method. The lower limb muscle strength and safety management quality of the two groups were compared. Result The peak torque scores of the knee extension and flexion muscle groups were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). In terms of balance and gait scores, nurse patient communication scores, complication risk screening scores, and disease control and rehabilitation scores, the experimental group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The innovative traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention model has a good effect on the safety management of falls in elderly patients, and can effectively improve the quality of safety management. It can be further promoted and applied in clinical practice.
