Manual patient handling (MPH) is a major occupational risk in healthcare settings. The aim of this study was to propose an MPH training model involving interdisciplinary aspects. A scheduled training program was performed with 60 healthcare workers (HCWs) from a hospital in Naples, Italy, providing training divided into three sections (occupational health-section one; physical therapy-section two; psychosocial section-section three) and lasting six hours. Fifty-two HCWs performed the training session. In section one, a questionnaire about risk perception related to specific working tasks was administered. Section two provided specific exercises for the postural discharge of the anatomical areas most involved in MPH. The last section provided teamwork consolidation through a role-playing exercise. The training program could also be useful for risk assessment itself, as they can examine the perceptions of the specific risk of the various workers and incorrect attitudes and therefore correct any incorrect procedures, reducing exposure to specific risks in the field. This pilot study proposes a training model that explores all aspects related to MPH risk exposure and also underlines the need for standardization of this formative model, which could represent a useful tool for studying the real effectiveness of training in workplaces.
手动患者搬运（MPH）是医疗保健环境中的主要职业风险。本研究旨在提出一种涉及跨学科方面的 MPH 培训模型。在意大利那不勒斯的一家医院，对 60 名医护人员（HCWs）进行了计划中的培训计划，培训分为三个部分（职业健康部分 1；物理治疗部分 2；心理社会部分 3），持续 6 小时。52 名 HCWs 参加了培训课程。在第 1 部分，对与特定工作任务相关的风险感知进行了问卷调查。第 2 部分提供了针对 MPH 中涉及的解剖区域的姿势排放的特定练习。最后一部分通过角色扮演练习巩固团队合作。培训计划本身也可用于风险评估，因为他们可以检查不同工人的特定风险感知和不正确态度，从而纠正任何不正确的程序，减少在特定领域的风险暴露。这项初步研究提出了一种培训模型，探讨了与 MPH 风险暴露相关的所有方面，并强调了这种形成性模型标准化的必要性，这可能是研究工作场所培训实际效果的有用工具。
