“…In the working population, specifically in nurses, musculoskeletal pain has been extensively investigated [37,[58][59][60], with this population presenting up to 75% of symptoms of musculoskeletal pain [61]. However, for family caregivers there is little evidence.…”

“…One of the strategies has been "Safe Patient Handling and Mobility". In this strategy, workers used equipment to lift and move patients, demonstrating a reduction in biomechanical loads, overexertion injuries, and working time [35][36][37]. However, these interventions are indicated for health professionals, caregivers in institutions or at home who have access to this equipment.…”

Life expectancy in Spain has increased and older people need more health care to improve their quality of life. The high demands of the population sometimes collapse health services, making them insufficient to cover their needs, which leads to the development of “non-professional caregivers”. These caregivers have suffered musculoskeletal injuries of the cervical spine and shoulders and should be guided and assessed on ergonomics, biomechanics, or kinesiotherapy. However, there are no interventions to help them care for themselves. This study presents the application of a physical exercise programme to prevent these disorders in women caregivers of dependent patients. It consists of a randomised controlled clinical trial with two groups: both received a family caregiver care programme, and the intervention group also received a physical therapeutic exercise programme for 12 weeks. A total of 62 caregivers completed the study, who were mostly daughters or wives of dependents. Of these, 70.97% presented a “moderate” pain intensity and a cervical disability of 13.72 ± 7.64 points in the NDI questionnaire in the initial evaluation. In the intervention group of caregivers, there was a significant decrease in the pain intensity and a significant increase (p < 0.05) in all cervical joint amplitude movements. Caregivers present a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders. The physical exercise programme was effective in reducing the intensity of pain, lumbar disability, and cervical disability of the family caregivers.

“…One is that patient lift equipment (eg, ceiling or boom lifts) that reduces the physical forces needed to move patients should be chosen for use in the perioperative area in collaboration with the facility's product evaluation team 1 . Because personnel are more likely to use patient lift equipment when it is readily available for use, a recommendation was added that these types of equipment should be kept in such a location 1‐4 …”

“…1 Because personnel are more likely to use patient lift equipment when it is readily available for use, a recommendation was added that these types of equipment should be kept in such a location. [1][2][3][4] This update now includes a section titled "Individualized SPHM and Ergonomic Plan;" it provides both new recommendations and recommendations from the previous version of the guideline. The recommendation about the number of personnel needed to safely perform a lateral patient transfer or reposition a patient was revised from providing an exact number to indicating that the number of personnel needed to perform these tasks should be sufficient to maintain the patient's body alignment and airway and support extremities.…”

“…Integrating patient handling equipment into the SPHM framework reduces risks to healthcare personnel and improves the safety climate in patient care 4. This dual benefit is characterized by Járomi et al,5 who observed a reduction in the incidence of long-term nonspecific lower back pain and an improved frequency of correctly executed horizontal and vertical patient lifting techniques among nurses.…”
