The Fundació Hospital Sant Joan de Déu de Martorell has launched an awareness campaign from March 11 to 17 to mark World Delirium Awareness Day.

The program aims to enhance the prevention and management of this syndrome, which frequently affects elderly patients during hospitalization. Delirium involves sudden confusion and behavioral changes, making early identification essential for patient recovery.
Nursing staff will provide informative brochures to families, while healthcare professionals will receive a specific clinical algorithm. The Hospital Support Team will lead the distribution of these resources across the medical facilities in Martorell.
