The health care team must be able to mobilize bariatric patients efficiently and safely. It is challenging to find the proper equipment of sufficient variety to meet the need. Patients can feel self-conscious when staff are struggling to provide care, and staff can be injured when trying to mobilize patients without the proper equipment. This can result in feelings of humiliation for the patient and frustration for staff. Furthermore, staff often experience compassion fatigue when dealing with their frustration around this. This bariatric surgery unit experienced these issues with mobilization of larger patients and participated in the development of a Safe Patient Handling and Mobility program in an effort to gain understanding of the necessary equipment and how to implement such a program. The purpose of this article is to describe the successful implementation of a Safe Patient Handling and Mobility program to reduce staff injury and frustration and to improve the patient experience on a bariatric unit.
医疗团队必须能够高效且安全地转移肥胖症患者。找到种类足够丰富的合适设备来满足需求颇具挑战性。当工作人员努力提供护理时，患者可能会感到难为情，而在没有合适设备的情况下试图转移患者时，工作人员可能会受伤。这可能会让患者感到屈辱，让工作人员感到沮丧。此外，工作人员在应对由此产生的挫折感时，常常会经历同情疲劳。这个肥胖症手术科室在转移体型较大的患者时遇到了这些问题，并参与了安全患者搬运与移动计划的制定，以便了解所需设备以及如何实施这样一个计划。本文的目的是描述安全患者搬运与移动计划的成功实施，以减少工作人员的受伤和挫折感，并改善肥胖症科室的患者体验。
