Nursing schools in the United States have not been teaching evidence-based practices for safe patient handling, putting their graduates at risk for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The specific aim of this study was to translate research related to safe patient handling into the curricula of nursing schools and evaluate the impact on nurse educators and students' intentions to use safe patient handling techniques. Nurse educators at 26 nursing schools received curricular materials and training; nursing students received the evidence-based curriculum module. There were three control sites. Questionnaires were used to collect data on knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about safe patient handling for both nurse educators and students, pre- and post-training. In this study, we found that nurse educator and student knowledge improved significantly at intervention schools, as did intention to use mechanical lifting devices in the near future. We concluded that the curriculum module is ready for wide dissemination across nursing schools to reduce the risk of MSDs among nurses.
美国的护理学校一直未教授基于证据的安全患者搬运实践，这使毕业生面临肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）的风险。本研究的具体目标是将与安全患者搬运相关的研究转化为护理学校的课程，并评估其对护士教育工作者以及学生使用安全患者搬运技术意图的影响。26所护理学校的护士教育工作者收到了课程材料并接受了培训；护理专业学生接受了基于证据的课程模块。设有三个对照点。通过问卷调查收集护士教育工作者和学生在培训前后关于安全患者搬运的知识、态度和信念的数据。在本研究中，我们发现干预学校的护士教育工作者和学生的知识有显著提高，在不久的将来使用机械提升设备的意愿也有所提高。我们得出结论，该课程模块已准备好在各护理学校广泛传播，以降低护士患肌肉骨骼疾病的风险。
