The aim of this study was to examine current practices within the Lothian Health Board area in relation to reporting of occupationally induced musculoskeletal injuries, training in moving and handling, and use of mechanical aids. A sample of 5,184 nurses working throughout the health board was given a questionnaire containing both open and closed questions. The results showed a significant proportion of nurses had time off work due to musculoskeletal injury and that this was related to grade and specialty. There was also a significant proportion of the respondents who did not report injuries and/or who experienced pain/discomfort, but did not take time off work. Present moving and handling training appears to be inadequate and too infrequent for the needs of staff. These findings emphasise the need for a review of both accident reporting systems and training, in particular in the use of mechanical aids.
本研究的目的是调查洛锡安卫生委员会辖区内与职业性肌肉骨骼损伤报告、搬运培训以及机械辅助工具使用相关的现行做法。对该卫生委员会全体5184名护士进行抽样，发放了一份包含开放式和封闭式问题的问卷。结果显示，相当一部分护士因肌肉骨骼损伤而请假，且这与职别和专业有关。也有相当一部分受访者未报告受伤情况和/或虽有疼痛/不适但未请假。目前的搬运培训似乎不足，且频率过低，无法满足员工需求。这些发现强调了对事故报告系统和培训进行审查的必要性，尤其是在机械辅助工具的使用方面。
