Nursing schools in the United States have not been teaching evidence-based practices for safe patient handling, putting their graduates at risk musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The specific aim of this study was to translate research related handling into curricula nursing and evaluate impact on nurse educators students' intentions use techniques. Nurse 26 received curricular materials training; students curriculum module. There were three control sites. Questionnaires used collect data...
Universities, like cities, have embraced novel technologies and data-based solutions to improve their campuses with ‘smart’ becoming a welcomed concept. Campuses in many ways are small-scale cities. They increasingly seek address similar challenges deliver improved experiences users. How can data be used making this vision reality? What we learn from smart that scaled up cities? A short research study was conducted over three-month period at public university the United Kingdom, employing...
:Background: Technology-enabled healthcare or smart health has provided a wealth of products and services to enable older people monitor manage their own conditions at home, thereby maintaining independence, whilst also reducing costs. However, despite the growing ubiquity health, innovations are often technically driven, user does not have input into design. The purpose current study was facilitate debate about positive negative perceptions attitudes towards digital technologies. Methods:...
Manual retraction, a task performed to expose the surgical site, poses high risk for musculoskeletal disorders that affect hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and back. In recent years, minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures have led development of multifunctional instruments retractors capable performing these functions that, in many cases, has eliminated need manual retraction. During are not endoscopically, use self-retaining enables assistant handle tissue exposure techniques do require...

The disorderly and disrupted movement of passengers within train stations are key concerns in rail transport, especially where there increasing numbers passengers, coupled with often out-dated, adapted station spaces. With careful planning design, different characteristics lighting can be employed to address problems relating the behaviour railway environments. This study aims offer an approach identify new concepts for lighting-based interventions influence passenger behaviours stations....
Navigating around large hospitals can be a stressful and time-consuming experience for all users of the hospital infrastructure. Navigation difficulties encountered by patients visitors result in missed appointments or simply create poor impression organisation. When staff encounter navigation this lead to cost efficiency issues potentially put patient safety at risk. Despite provision an array in-hospital navigational aids, "getting lost" continues everyday problem these complex...
Three behaviour types – suicide, trespass and risky behaviours, which can result in entry to railway tracks present an ongoing challenge the rail industry for fatality prevention. Many preventative interventions exist, operating at different stages timeline of a person’s decision access point that they have entered remain track area. However, there is little understanding impacts on behaviours question. This paper outlines generation functional requirements use lighting as safety...
Vertical transfers of postoperative orthopaedic patients pose a high risk to healthcare workers for developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The task is considered based on weight limits and awkward positioning. A force including representatives from the National Association Orthopaedic Nurses, American Nurses Association, Institute Occupational Safety Health, Patient Center Inquiry at James A. Haley Veterans Administration Medical in Tampa, Diligent Services, Guldmann, Inc.,...
Features of lighting that can influence people’s behaviours have been identified in an earlier study, along with six scenarios where these could be applied to solve problems movements through railway stations. The current paper describes the development and testing novel interventions for three scenarios, two new products controlled by Internet Things technology integrated operational systems. first uses projected light indicate preferred platform waiting locations. second chasing...
Vertical transfers of patients with a cast/brace or sling on an upper lower extremity from bed to chair pose high risk for musculoskeletal injury. A task force was formed, including representatives National Association Orthopaedic Nurses, American Nurses Association, Institute Occupational Safety and Health, Patient Center inquiry at the James Haley Veterans Administration Medical in Tampa, FL, related clinical experts. This developed ergonomic decision-making tool (algorithm) determine best...
