Movimentação e transferência de pacientes: aspectos posturais e ergonômicos

Abstract: The most dangerous and difficult tasks faced by health workers are those procedures involved with lifting and moving patients. Therefore, training and recycling programs in lifting procedures are a compulsory part of programs for the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in schools and health institutions. The present study presents basic and innovative orientation with an ergonomic approach regarding these procedures, together with the use of devices.

“…In fact, Fonseca and Fernandes 23 highlight that the physical aspects of work overload have an important contribution in the development of WRMD, especially in the upper limbs, such as inadequate posture and repetitive tasks. Nurses who work at ICUs perform tasks that demand physical effort, such as patient handling 27 , placing and removing monitors on and off shelves and cabinets, and equipment organization, besides the assignments related to patient care 26 . Significant differences were not found between the sectors analyzed (CICU and AICU) regarding the work ability index and the NRS.…”

“…Os trabalhadores de enfermagem apontaram os aspectos: pequeno espaço, elevada carga física e falta de pessoal como as principais dificuldades encontradas na execução da movimentação do paciente no leito (19). Radovanic et al (22) ressaltam que os trabalhadores de enfermagem devem sempre avaliar as circunstâncias dos pacientes como: peso, altura, consciência, nível de dependência (mobilidade, transferência) e também os acessórios e equipamentos conectados ao paciente; sendo, para Alexandre et al (23), importante que a movimentação e o transporte de obesos sejam minuciosamente avaliados e planejados, usando sempre que possível auxílios mecânicos. As restrições mais frequentes para os profissionais de enfermagem foram relacionadas aos aspectos ergonômicos (24), cabendo ressaltar que o estudo concentrou-se no domínio de especialidade da ergonomia física.…”
