Call to action to reduce the occupational hazard associated with patient handling for workforce preservation
Background
Nursing injuries from overexertion decreased in recent years, but 2020 saw an increase. Reducing work-related injuries (WRI) through safe patient handling (SPH) can preserve the nursing workforce. Policies focused on workforce preservation are needed.
Purpose
We investigate an evidence-based SPH program initiated in 2002, in reducing injuries among nurses compared with national patterns, and offer a blueprint for replication.
Methods
A three-step iterative, mixed-methods approach compares national data on WRI and lost workdays from overexertion with a case example.
Findings
The case example outperforms national trends. Data demonstrate benefits from a comprehensive, evidence-based SPH program with steady reductions in Occupational Safety and Health Administration recordable WRI and median workdays lost. Fifty-eight implementation strategies promoted sustainability of SPH practices.
Discussion and Conclusion
SPH can reduce injuries and lost workdays but requires funding for SPH equipment across settings. Implications for organizations, research and technology development, policy, and workforce preservation are provided.
