Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) as a result of patient handling tasks occur at high rates for nursing staff and other patient care providers. Patient care providers perform high-risk patient handling tasks including lifting, transferring, ambulating, and repositioning patients. Continuous performance of these tasks places a patient care provider at risk for development of a MSD. MSDs affect a healthcare organization financially and impact the core of a hospital-the health of the workforce. The purpose of this research was to study the impact of a safe patient handling and movement program on healthcare worker injury, costs and job satisfaction.
A critical review of the safe patient handling literature was conducted.
A safe patient handling and movement (SPHM) program decreases overall work injury costs and improves healthcare worker job satisfaction.
Reduced work injuries, decreased injury costs, improved patient outcomes validated in research and employees feeling the support of their employer all contribute to a program that moves an organization toward a culture of safety.
护理人员及其他患者护理提供者因患者搬运任务而导致肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）的发生率很高。患者护理提供者执行高风险的患者搬运任务，包括抬起、转移、扶患者行走和为患者重新安置体位。持续执行这些任务会使患者护理提供者面临患上MSD的风险。MSD会给医疗保健机构带来经济影响，并影响医院的核心——员工的健康。本研究的目的是探讨安全患者搬运与移动计划对医护人员受伤情况、成本及工作满意度的影响。
对安全患者搬运相关文献进行了批判性综述。
安全患者搬运与移动（SPHM）计划可降低总体工伤成本，并提高医护人员的工作满意度。
研究证实，减少工伤、降低受伤成本、改善患者预后以及员工感受到雇主的支持，所有这些都有助于推动一个组织迈向安全文化的计划。
