A skilled assistant activates and helps
Handling of patients requires physical exertion from the care personnel.
It may put too much strain on the musculoskeletal system of the caring staff. The loads can, however, be adjusted by adhering to the recommendations for safe patient handling, presented in this book.
They are based on biomechanical studies carried out in order to determine the limits for acceptable loads. The purpose of the recommendations is to draw the attention of the caring staff to their own, personal safety, as well as to that of the patients they are assisting. The patient´s active role in the movements related to the transfers is essential in promoting her/his mobility and health. In addition, it reduces the load on the nursing personnel.
The book is useful for everyone who assists patients in moving, or who is responsible for the training and safety of the nursing.
