背景研究的重点是了解医院环境中预防患者搬运损伤的干预措施的实施和采用,这方面的工作在伤害文献中是缺乏的,可能比更传统的评估方法更有洞察力。方法使用来自卫生保健工作者的焦点小组的数据来描述在两家附属医院采用患者搬运设备和转向“最小手动搬运环境”的障碍和推动者。结果指出了几个影响搬运设备和患者搬运政策的因素:时间、知识/能力、人员配备、患者特征以及工作的组织和文化方面。采用的过程很复杂,在不同医院和不同单位之间观察到了相当大的变异性。结论使用定性数据可以提高对影响实施和采用旨在预防医护人员处理病人伤害的干预措施的因素的了解。上午好。J.Ind.地中海医院。2011年,54:946-954。©2011 Wiley期刊,Inc.
BackgroundWork focused on understanding implementation and adoption of interventions designed to prevent patient‐handling injuries in the hospital setting is lacking in the injury literature and may be more insightful than more traditional evaluation measures.MethodsData from focus groups with health care workers were used to describe barriers and promoters of the adoption of patient lift equipment and a shift to a “minimal‐manual lift environment” at two affiliated hospitals.ResultsSeveral factors influencing the adoption of the lift equipment and patient‐handling policy were noted: time, knowledge/ability, staffing, patient characteristics, and organizational and cultural aspects of work. The adoption process was complex, and considerable variability by hospital and across units was observed.ConclusionsThe use of qualitative data can enhance the understanding of factors that influence implementation and adoption of interventions designed to prevent patient‐handling injuries among health care workers.
