Safe resident handling programs (SRHP) reduce injuries and costs. Previously, we reported variability in effectiveness and sought to identify reasons for differences among workers in resident handling equipment (RHE) use. In 8 nursing homes, nursing aides' (NAs) frequency of RHE use and reasons for inconsistent use were assessed by questionnaire up to 4 times after SRHP implementation. Ordered multinomial models examined correlates of RHE-usage frequency. At least two-thirds of NAs reported \"often\" or \"always\" lift use. Higher RHE use was related to higher SRHP commitment, higher prior SRHP expectations, older age, higher health self-efficacy, and lower supervisor support. \"Device not available when needed\" and \"residents dislike\" were major reasons consistently cited for not using RHE. While this program has been effective, attention to device availability, education of residents and family members on SRHP importance, and worker empowerment might increase usage further.","PeriodicalId":91051,"journal":{"name":"American journal of safe patient handling & movement","volume":"6 1","pages":"16-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8552405/pdf/nihms-1748822.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39579556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Ergonomic Assessment of Floor-based and Overhead Lifts.","authors":"Thomas R Waters, Robert Dick, Brian Lowe, Dwight Werren, Kelley Parsons","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Manual full-body vertical lifts of patients have high risk for developing musculoskeletal disorders. Two primary types of battery-powered lift assist devices are available for these tasks: floor-based and overhead-mounted devices. Studies suggest that the operation of floor-based devices may require excessive pushing and pulling forces and that overhead-mounted devices are safer and require lower operating forces. This study evaluated required operating hand forces and resulting biomechanical spinal loading for overhead-mounted lifts versus floor-based lifts across various floor surfaces and patient weight conditions. We did not examine differences in how operators performed the tasks, but rather focused on differences in required operating forces and estimated biomechanical loads across various exposure conditions for a typical operator. Findings show that the floor-based lifts exceeded recommended exposure limits for pushing and pulling for many of the floor/weight conditions and that the overhead-mounted lifts did not. As expected, forces and spinal loads were greater for nonlinoleum floor surfaces compared with linoleum floors. Based on these findings, it is suggested that overhead-mounted devices be used whenever possible, particularly in instances where carpeted floors would be encountered.","PeriodicalId":91051,"journal":{"name":"American journal of safe patient handling & movement","volume":"2 4","pages":"119-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4631797/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144181555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
