1 What Nurses Need to Know about Safe Patient Handling Nancy L. Hughes, MS, RN Director, Center for Occupational and Environmental Health American Nurses Association Joan I. Warren, PhD, RN-BC, NEA-BC Director, Professional Practice & Research Franklin Square Hospital Center Objectives Describe the problem of musculoskeletal injuries. Discuss the theory and principles of safe patient handling. Provide a review of the American Nurses Association s Handle with Care initiative. What is safe patient handling? Safe patient handling consists of policies and programs that enable nurses and other caregivers to move patients utilizing equipment in a way that does not cause strain or injury to the nurses, other health care providers or the patient while preserving the patient s dignity
2 Global Issue England 43% of nursing personnel suffer annually Taiwan % prevalence Greece - 75% of nurses United States- Over 50% ANA survey- Disabling back injury second highest concern (2003 n-4826) Polling Question Have you suffered a musculoskeletal disorder injury due to manual patient handling during your career in nursing? Ergonomic Hazards for Nurses Risk factors most frequently associated with low back pain in health care workers: Lifting Forceful Movements Back and other musculoskeletal injuries are the result of repeated exposure to ergonomic risk factors rather than a single, instantaneous event
3 Basic Anatomy/Physiology Vertebral Body Vertebral End Plate Disc Ergonomic Hazards for Nurses Shear Force vs. Compressive Force Anterior-Posterior/Lateral Plane vs. Vertical Plane No wonder nurses are injured! In an eight hour shift, the cumulative weight that nurses lift equal to an average of 1.8 tons per day (Tuohy-Main, K. (1997). Why manual handling should be eliminated for resident and career safety. Geriaction, 15, 10-14) Courtesy of Dr. Audrey Nelson Tampa VA Patient Safety Center
4 Highest Injury Rates By Occupation Nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants 465 per 10,000 full time workers MSD injury case rate of 252 cases per 10,000 workers Seven (7) times the rate of the national MSD average for all occupations!!!! (BLS data, Incidence Rates Per 10,000 workers #1 Nursing aides, orderlies and attendants 252 per 10,000 workers #2 Emergency medical technicians and paramedics 179 per 10,000 workers #3 Laborers and freight, stock and material movers 149 per 10,000 workers (BLS data, Occupational Injuries and Illnesses with Days Away from Work Involving MSD, 2006 Rank #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 Occupation Laborers and Freight Stock and Material Movers hand Nursing Aides Orderlies and Attendants (27,590) Truck Drivers Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Retail Salespersons Registered Nurses (9,200) Truck Drivers Light or Delivery Services Janitors and Cleaners Except Maids and Housekeeping Stock Clerks and Order Fillers Construction Laborers Maintenance and repair workers, general Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Department of Labor, Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, cases involving days away from work.

Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2006 Myth of Proper Body Mechanics Traditionally taught as a means to counteract the physical stress of patient handling, such as lifting Early findings of body mechanics studies were: Based on static loads (i.e., box with handles) Primarily focused on men Concentrate on the lower back for lifting Do not account for other vulnerable body parts involved in types of patient handling tasks (e.g., lateral transfers from gurney to bed along a horizontal plane) Body mechanics training does not equip nursing personnel with the capabilities to effectively compensate for loads that typically exceed recommended limits
6 Patient Characteristics Making proper body mechanics unsuitable: Weight No handles Uneven distribution of weight Dynamic load Altered LOC Agitated or combative Variable ability to assist Patient room Structural physical environment Type of unit Reality of Ergonomic Hazards Nursing Staff Caregivers Working Hurt Experienced Workers Sidelined Inadequate Staffing due to Work-Related Days Off Workers Decide to Leave the Job (Increased Turnover) Younger vs. Older Caregivers Employers High Direct & Indirect Costs Related To: Employee Replacement Workers Compensation Medical Treatment Patients Patients Turned / OOB Less Often = Longer Stays Falls and Injuries Related to Unsafe Lifts Evidence Exists Research studies demonstrate that manual patient handling exceeds capabilities of human body and leads to injury Using mechanical lifting equipment and transfer devices for patient handling significantly reduces injuries among direct patient caregivers Standardized patient handling algorithms have been developed and applied in real clinical settings Patient care assessment forms that consider patient ability available to help caregivers select appropriate equipment/devices
7 NIOSH Lift Equation for Healthcare Recommended weight limit is 35 pounds for most patient-lifting tasks (Source: Waters, T. When is it Safe to Manually Lift a Patient? AJN 2007; 107(8): ) Benefits for All Reduce the incidence and severity of musculoskeletal injuries in nursing staff Create a culture of safety and empower nurses to create safe working environments Improve patient safety & quality of care Security Comfort Dignity Realize cost-savings for employers Patient Risk Patients can be injured during movement Skin tears Dislocations Fractures Increased fall rate Discomfort Dignity
