To address knowledge gaps in safe patient handling and mobility methods (SPHMM) among rehabilitation professionals in Sweden, a national knowledge center, HMC, provides training on SPHMM. The study's aim was to report on outcomes at 3 months after training in terms of self-perceived competence in SPHMM and self-perceived utility of acquired competence in SPHMM.
Training participants (occupational therapists and physiotherapists) completed a study-specific questionnaire, with 1065 doing so at 3 weeks before the training and 389 at 3 months after training. Linear mixed models were used for analyses.
Self-perceived competence improved significantly at 3 months after training ( < 0.001). Occupational therapists, specifically, and rehabilitation professionals generally with less clinical experience reported greater improvement compared to physiotherapists and those with longer experience ( < 0.001). Rehabilitation professionals overall with shorter clinical experience also reported higher self-perceived utility of the acquired SPHMM competence ( < 0.001), but occupational therapists and physiotherapists did not differ significantly ( = 0.369).
Among rehabilitation professionals, greater self-perceived competence and self-perceived utility of the acquired competence in SPHMM is possible after HMC training. Improvements were greater for those with shorter clinical experience. By enhancing competence among rehabilitation professionals, HMC training has the potential to advance working person-centered and efficient transfer practices in interdisciplinary care settings.
为填补瑞典康复专业人员在安全患者搬运与移动方法（SPHMM）方面的知识空白，一家国家级知识中心——HMC提供了SPHMM培训。本研究的目的是报告培训后3个月时，康复专业人员在SPHMM方面的自我感知能力以及所获得能力的自我感知效用方面的结果。
培训参与者（职业治疗师和物理治疗师）完成了一份针对该研究的问卷，1065人在培训前3周完成，389人在培训后3个月完成。采用线性混合模型进行分析。
培训后3个月时，自我感知能力有显著提高（<0.0）。具体而言，职业治疗师以及临床经验较少的康复专业人员总体上比物理治疗师和经验更丰富的人员有更大的提高（<0.001）。临床经验较短的康复专业人员总体上也报告了所获得的SPHMM能力的更高自我感知效用（<0.001），但职业治疗师和物理治疗师之间没有显著差异（=0.369）。
在康复专业人员中，经过HMC培训后，在SPHMM方面的自我感知能力和所获得能力的自我感知效用可能会更高。临床经验较短的人员提高更大。通过提高康复专业人员的能力，HMC培训有潜力在跨学科护理环境中推进以患者为中心且高效的转移实践。
