A training seminar enhanced nurse case managers' confidence in managing work-related upper extremity disorders (WRUEDs). This approach improved their ability to implement worksite accommodations and problem-solving strategies for better health and return-to-work outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational health
  • Rehabilitation medicine
  • Ergonomics

Background:

  • Work-related upper extremity disorders (WRUEDs) can impact worker health and return-to-work (RTW) timelines.
  • Effective case management, including worksite accommodations and active problem-solving, is crucial for managing WRUEDs.
  • Nurse case managers play a key role in facilitating RTW for injured workers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of a 2-day training seminar for nurse case managers.
  • To equip case managers with skills in identifying ergonomic risk factors and providing worksite accommodations.
  • To train case managers in engaging workers with WRUEDs in active problem-solving.

Main Methods:

  • A 2-day training workshop was developed based on eight identified procedural steps for case management of WRUEDs.

  • The training focused on ergonomic assessment, accommodation provision, and problem-solving skills training.
  • Sixty-five randomly selected case managers participated in the training seminar.

    • Main Results:

    • Participants reported moderate to high confidence in performing ergonomic assessments (mean = 7.5/10).
    • Confidence levels were also high for providing problem-solving skills training (mean = 7.2/10).
    • The training format was deemed suitable for experienced case managers, fostering confidence in the approach.

    Conclusions:

    • The 2-day training seminar is a feasible method for enhancing nurse case managers' skills in managing WRUEDs.
    • The training successfully increased case managers' confidence in implementing ergonomic assessments and problem-solving interventions.
    • This enhanced case management approach shows potential for improving health and return-to-work outcomes for individuals with WRUEDs.
