Sixteen of 100 full-time occupational therapists are injured while performing manual patient handling techniques. We developed a Theory of Planned Behavior self-report questionnaire to determine what educators teach and the behavioral constructs that best predict intention to change curriculum content. Traditional manual patient handling and safe patient handling methods were investigated. The results showed that both methods are taught in most programs; however, only 22% stated that they teach safe patient handling as the standard of practice. Stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that attitude and perceived behavioral control are the best predictors of intention to continue teaching manual transfers as the standard; however, normative belief and attitude best predict intention to teach safe patient handling as the standard. Knowing these predictors will assist in developing strategies to promote a paradigm shift in the way patient transfers are taught.
100 名全职作业治疗师中有 16 人在进行手动患者搬运技术时受伤。我们开发了一个计划行为理论的自我报告问卷，以确定教育者教授的内容以及最能预测改变课程内容意图的行为结构。传统的手动患者搬运和安全患者搬运方法都进行了调查。结果表明，这两种方法在大多数项目中都有教授；然而，只有 22%的人表示他们教授安全的患者搬运作为标准的实践。逐步回归分析表明，态度和感知行为控制是继续教授手动转移作为标准的意图的最佳预测因素；然而，规范信念和态度是预测教授安全患者搬运作为标准的意图的最佳因素。了解这些预测因素将有助于制定策略，以促进教授患者转移方式的范式转变。
