Nursing Heavy Handling Works and The Questionnaires to nurses

该项目的长期目标是设计一个护士帮助机器，以减少护理人员背痛的风险。在日本和英国收集数据，以建立病人处理方法和护士对机械辅助设备的看法。1994年10月，向在日本7家医院工作的护士分发了500份问卷，1995年同月，向阿伯丁综合医院（City、Morningfield和伍德德医院）雇用的护士发送了418份问卷。有357名日本护士和299名英国护士回复。1995年，英国护士在工作中引起背痛的比例仅为10%（12个月内），而日本护士在工作中引起背痛的比例为75%（在过去的职业生涯中）。造成差异的原因是：1两国的问题不同; 2日本没有关于病人处理的政府指南或指令; 3英国病房有关键的举重者，而日本没有; 4关于指南的培训计划 ...更多信息 然而，这表明护士们都同意这两个国家的病人抬起的高风险，大多数人希望看到帮助机器，此外，当局亦应摒弃传统的人手提升及搬运方法，改用符合人体工程学原理的方法。一九九四年内，当局研制了两种测力装置，1995年东京电机大学。一种是测力鞋，用于测量护理过程中对地板的反作用力。该数字就像一双鞋，它可以独立地检测脚趾和脚跟的力。另一个是传感器，它可以测量病人护理过程中床边的倾斜力。使用两个传感器，我们可以测量从躺着的位置坐起来的力，以及将床上的病人滑向枕头的力。本研究系于本院护理系进行护理重体力搬运实验。结果发现，当护士靠在床边时，会降低处理病人的风险。少

The long term aim of the project in to design a nurse helping machine in order to reduce the risk of back pain among nursing staff. Data were collected in Japan and Britain to establish methods of patient handling and nurse's views on mechanical aids. In October 1994, 500 questionnaires were distributed to nurses working in seven hospitals in Japan and in the same month in 1995, 418 forms were sent to nurses employed by Aberdeen General Hospitals (City, Morningfield and Woodend Hospitals). There were 357 replies from Japanese and 299 British nurses. Caused back pain percentages in working was only 10 % (Within 12 months in 1995) for British nurses, but was 75% (during past their career in working) for Japanese nurses. The reasons of the difference between them were that 1 questions between both countries were differed, 2 no government guideline or directive on patient handling exist in Japan, 3 there were key lifters in British wards but no in Japanese, 4 training programs on the guide … More line have recently been introduced for nurses in Britain However, it suggests that nurses agreed on the high risk of patient lifting in both countries, the majority would like to see helping machines available, and also there should have been a move away from the traditional methods of manual lifting and handling to one based on ergonomic principles.Two force detecting devices had developed during 1994-1995 in Tokyo Denki University. One is the forceshoes which could measure the reacting forces against floor during nursing. The figure is just like a pair of shoes and it could detect the toe and the heel force independently. And the other is the sensor which could measure the leaning forces on an edge of bed during care of a patient. Using two sensors, we could measured the forces of sitting up from lying position, and sliding a patient on bed toward to a pillow. The experiments for the nursing heavy manual handling a patient had been conducted in the Jiti Medical College, School of Nursing. It was found that the risk of handing a patient will be reduced when a nurse lean to the edge of a bed. Less
