Nursing is associated with high rates of musculoskeletal disorders from patient handling, and nurses are at high risk for developing cumulative trauma disorders, which can result from computer usage. Although there are many benefits to using computers in the workplace, nurses need to incorporate ergonomic factors into work settings to promote safe workplace environments. This article reviews recent literature about computer workstation ergonomics, discusses related policies, and makes recommendations about computer workstation design and related research in nursing workplace settings.
护理工作与因搬运患者导致的高肌肉骨骼疾病发生率相关，护士患累积性创伤疾病的风险很高，这可能是由电脑使用引起的。尽管在工作场所使用电脑有诸多益处，但护士需要将人体工程学因素纳入工作环境，以促进安全的工作场所环境。本文回顾了近期关于电脑工作站人体工程学的文献，讨论了相关政策，并就护理工作场所环境中的电脑工作站设计及相关研究提出了建议。
