Objective: To explore the application effect of maternal fall risk assessment scale for puerpera in postpartum fall management. Methods: Analyzing, summarizing and concluding the risk factors of maternal fall, we developed the obstetric fall assessment scale. Select the 400 puerpera who delivered via vagina in this hospital from August 2019 to November 2019, they were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. Risk assessment scale of maternal fall was used in the observation group while Thomas fall assessment scale was used in the control group. ROC curve analysis was used to compare the reliability of the two scales. The incidence of maternal falls and the degree of falls injuries were compared between the two groups. Results: Risk assessment scale of maternal fall has high reliability. According to the risk degree of the risk assessment scale of maternal fall and adopting the corresponding nursing intervention can significantly reduce the occurrence of maternal fall and effectively prevent maternal fall. Conclusion: Risk assessment scale of maternal fall can accurately assess the risk of maternal fall, and targeted nursing intervention can effectively prevent and manage maternal fall, which has clinical application value.
