Items related to Evidence-Based Patient Handling
Synopsis
Providing care and treatment for patients usually requires moving and handling activities associated with high rates of back injuries. The personal and financial cost of back pain and injuries to health staff means there is an urgent need to improve practice in this area. Over the past twenty years a number of guidelines have been published, however, these have been based on professional consensus rather than evidence.
Evidence-Based Patient Handling tackles the challenge of producing an evidence base to support clinical practice and covers tasks, equipment and interventions. This book questions previously held opinions about moving and handling and provides the foundation for future practice.

Review
"The book covers the evidence related to controversial techniques, patient-handling tasks, equipment used in these tasks, and interventions used to reduce injuries. There are many summary tables and flow charts. Studies are summarized and well referenced....This is great book for anyone who cares what the evidence shows related to patient handling and back injuries. I have never seen a book similar to this one. Nursing needs books like this for every type of intervention. This is true evidence-based practice and some of the findings challenge established practices. This is a must have book for those in risk management, employee health, and others developing patient care policy.."
