An educational intervention improved nursing students' ergonomics and awareness of workplace safety, leading to better physical work practices and reduced strain. Students reported higher satisfaction and analytical skills regarding their work environment.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Nursing Education
  • Ergonomics

Background:

  • Back injuries are a significant concern in the nursing profession, often stemming from inadequate ergonomic practices and work environment awareness.
  • Traditional nursing education may not sufficiently address the complexities of preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
  • There is a need for evidence-based educational strategies to equip future nurses with effective injury prevention skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational package combining ergonomic and behavioral training for nursing students.
  • To enhance students' understanding of the total work environment's role in preventing back injuries.
  • To assess the impact of the intervention on student satisfaction, analytical abilities, and practical work behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a combined ergonomic and behavioral training educational package for an experimental group of nursing students.
  • Comparison of the experimental group with a control group receiving standard education.
  • Assessment of student satisfaction, perceived ability to analyze the work environment, and observation of practical work-task performance.

Main Results:

  • The experimental group reported higher overall satisfaction with their education compared to the control group.
  • Students in the experimental group demonstrated a greater perceived ability to analyze their work environment.
  • Observational data indicated that students from the experimental group adopted physically more favorable and less strenuous working positions during practical tasks.

Conclusions:

  • Integrated ergonomic and behavioral training is effective in enhancing nursing students' satisfaction and analytical skills related to workplace safety.
  • The educational intervention positively influences practical work behaviors, promoting postures that reduce physical strain.
  • This approach contributes to better preparation of nurses for injury prevention in demanding healthcare settings.
