Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

On the one hand, transferring patient from bed to bed is usually handling by the manual lifting of several staffs or utilizing bedsheet, slide sheet , shovel-style stretcher or other devices to move and lift patients. Whatever, there are some advantages using these devices.

On the other hand, nurses are among the professionals at the highest risk for musculoskeletal disorders. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has shown that overexertion in manual lifting was the main event or exposure leading to injury or illness involving time away from work. Excessive weights, awkward postures, and repetitive motions are some of the known risk factors that contribute to sprains/strains and back injuries. During the process of patient transferring , it refers to the above risk factors for health-care workers. It recommended that using appropriate assistive equipment can reduce the injuries. If staff is safe, patients are safer.

The research team has designed and produced a new transport assistive devices-- biodegradable and air-suspending transfer mattress, which was precisely controlled by gas flow and based on ergonomics. And then apply it to the clinic in order to find whether it's benefit for patients and nursing staff.

It is a randomized controlled trial design.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Research design：randomized controlled trials. Computer generated random numbers. The patients were randomly divided into three groups, ① transfer patients by air-suspending mattress, ② transfer patients by slide board, ③ transfer patients by bedsheets.

Participants: passive patient with transports needs, such as CT/ MRI examination etc. The sample size estimation was according to the formula of multiple parallel design. The main outcome measure was the perceived exertion.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental group

Patients in experimental group were transferred by air-suspending mattress.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

transferred by air-suspending mattress

Intervention Type DEVICE

Put mattress in advance on the bed. When patients need to be transferred from bed to bed, fill the mattress with gas and keep it inflated, then pull the mattress .

control group 1

Patients in control group 1 were transferred by slide board.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

transferred by slide board

Intervention Type DEVICE

When patients need to be transferred from bed to bed, insert slide board under patient, then pull the slide board.

control group 2

Patients in control group 2 were transferred by bedsheet.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

transferred by bedsheet

Intervention Type DEVICE

When patients need to be transferred from bed to bed, just lift the bedsheet.
