Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) continue to be a problem in the health and social care setting, despite staff receiving mandatory manual handling training for many decades. The author discusses WRMSDs, with a focus on various nursing roles. The principle of manual handling as solely 'person moving' or 'transferring' is challenged because a range of activities can cause musculoskeletal problems. The legislation and regulations are explored in relation to practice. The benefits of introducing a specific risk-assessment tool designed for nurses working in neonatal wards is discussed.
尽管员工接受了长达数十年的强制性手动搬运培训,但与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病(WRMSDs)在卫生和社会护理环境中仍然是一个问题。作者讨论了与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病,重点关注各种护理角色。单纯将手动搬运定义为“人员移动”或“转移”的原则受到了挑战,因为一系列活动都可能导致肌肉骨骼问题。文中探讨了与实践相关的法律法规。还讨论了引入专门为新生儿病房护士设计的特定风险评估工具的益处。
