Publication of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations (HSE 1992) focused attention on the use of mechanical aids for the purposes of moving and handling. However, nurses' reluctance to use this equipment has been widely documented. The reasons for this are complex and the aim of this study was to examine in depth the effectiveness and acceptability of mechanical aids to nurses and clients. This article reports on the part of the study which surveyed nurses' attitudes towards this equipment. The data were obtained by means of a semi-structured interview schedule. One hundred and eighty five nurses from a selection of specialties were interviewed. Common problems identified by the researchers were lack of proper training in mechanical aid use, mechanical aids and slings being unavailable or inaccessible, arbitrary use of mechanical aids and spatial constraints to mechanical aid use. Recommendations are made which aim to address the issues raised. Phases II and III of the study will appear in the next two issues.
《手动操作条例》（健康与安全执行局，1992年）的发布使人们将注意力集中在用于搬运和移动目的的机械辅助设备上。然而，护士不愿使用这类设备的情况已有大量记载。其原因很复杂，本研究的目的是深入探讨机械辅助设备对护士和患者的有效性及可接受性。本文报告了该研究中调查护士对这类设备态度的部分。数据通过半结构化访谈提纲获取。对来自多个专业领域的185名护士进行了访谈。研究人员发现的常见问题包括缺乏使用机械辅助设备的适当培训、机械辅助设备和吊索无法获取或难以获得、机械辅助设备的随意使用以及使用机械辅助设备时的空间限制。针对所提出的问题给出了相关建议。该研究的第二阶段和第三阶段内容将在下两期发表。
