The present investigation evaluated the feasibility of creating a lift team with existent medical center nursing staff. Four nurse volunteers at low risk for injury were trained in proper lifting techniques and equipment use. Scheduled and paged maximal assistance transfers were performed by rotating pairs of team members over 21 days. The team successfully completed 94% of requested lifts, averaging 25 per day. Transfers between bed and chair were performed most frequently with the aid of a transfer belt. Greatest demands for team services were on a nursing home unit and an extended/subacute care unit. Unit staff responded positively to the team. Further research is needed to determine the team's impact on unit wide staff injuries and to evaluate the long term effects of working as a lift team member.
本研究评估了利用现有医疗中心护理人员组建一个搬运团队的可行性。对四名受伤风险较低的护士志愿者进行了正确搬运技术和设备使用方面的培训。在21天内，由成对的团队成员轮流进行定期和传呼最大辅助转移操作。该团队成功完成了94%的所需搬运任务，平均每天25次。借助转移带，床和椅子之间的转移操作最为频繁。对团队服务需求最大的是疗养院病房和延长/亚急性护理病房。病房工作人员对该团队给予了积极回应。需要进一步研究以确定该团队对全病房工作人员受伤情况的影响，并评估作为搬运团队成员工作的长期效果。
