“…Regardless of cardiorespiratory fitness status, positive correlations between HR and the strenuousness of patient handling activities were seen in a number of studies (Wakui 2000, Nuikka et al. 2001, Wakui et al. 2002).…”

“…Previous studies of nursing activities (Irimagawa et al. 1991, 1993, Garcia 1993, Irimagawa & Imamiya 1993a, Wakui 2000, Wakui et al. 2002) measured EE spent at work by tracking heart rates (HRs) via the HR–oxygen uptake relationship.…”

“…Work pace (WP) was measured using pedometers to count the number of walking steps per shift in a number of studies of nursing activities (Garcia 1993, Irimagawa & Imamiya 1993b, Takahashi et al. 1999, Wakui 2000, Wakui et al. 2002).…”
Nurse managers need to be aware of the physiological strain experienced by staff nurses, and focus on ensuring sufficient breaks and proper work accommodations for older nurses.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
