CE: Original Research: Patient Handling and Mobility Course Content: A National Survey of Nursing Programs Findings indicate that evidence-based curricula in this area are urgently needed.

摘要

Purpose: Despite the evidence supporting safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) practices, anecdotal evidence suggests that such practices are not universally taught in academic nursing programs. The primary goal of this cross-sectional descriptive study was to understand what nursing programs teach students about lifting, turning, transferring, repositioning, and mobilizing patients.
