Undergraduate students often struggle to apply taught safe handling and moving principles in practice placements due to environmental, resource, and time constraints. Consistent, structured training aligned with ward practices is recommended.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare education
  • Clinical practice
  • Patient handling

Background:

  • Undergraduate healthcare students receive theoretical training on safe handling and moving principles.
  • Application of these principles during practice placements is crucial for patient safety and student competency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how effectively undergraduates apply taught handling and moving principles during practice placements.
  • To identify factors influencing the application of these principles in real-world clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to 10 third-year undergraduate students.
  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted post-placement to gather in-depth insights.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Students frequently encountered difficulties in applying classroom-taught principles during practice.
  • Environmental, resource, and time limitations significantly hindered the application of safe handling and moving techniques.
  • Application of correct techniques was more evident when handling and moving were integral to patient management.

Conclusions:

  • Educational programs should emphasize structured training that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
  • Curricula need to be aligned with the realities of ward-based practice to enhance students' ability to apply safe handling and moving principles.
  • Further development of consistent training programs is essential for improving student performance in handling and moving activities.
