Description
| OF00EO99 | Blended Intensive Programme in Patient Handling in Safe and Rehabilitating Way (5 cr) |
| Prerequisites | Suitable for all health and social care students, but it is easier to learn if the student has some experiences of working with people needing assistance in transfers. |
| Objectives | The student is able to: - Define the basic principles of ergonomics, identify risk factors that contribute to musculoskeletal disorders and to explain physical load - Understand and observe how patient is changing his/her body positions based on his/her natural movements and how motor skills can be practiced and learnt - Plan and conduct a patient handling procedure based on patient’s natural movements what allow him/her to use his/her optimal functional capacity. - Choose the proper transfer technique/s and assistive device/s depending on the patient's functional level. - Utilize different transfer techniques and assistive devices to assure the safety for both the patient and the assistant. - Communicate with other professionals, staff, caregivers and patients before and during patient handling, using different communication styles and resources in order to perform safe patient handling. - Integrate ethical reasoning point of view in patient handling situations. |
| Content | Basics of ergonomics. Risk assessment. Natural movement and functional capacity of a patient. Body awareness and motor learning. Biomechanics in patient handling. Patient handling principles and management policies. Ethics and communication during patient handling. |
| Recommended optional programme components | If necessary, the student advisor will recommend optional programme components for each student based on their individual study plan. |
| Accomplishment methods | The course consist of virtual and intensive part. Virtual Part, Theory - consist of five separate Baskets with videos and photos. Tutorials, Tasks and discussions in Study Groups fasilitated by tutoring teacher - during 19.2-14.4.2024 Intensive part: workshops, simulations, excursion, exam. All instructions are in Moodle. |
| Execution methods | The course is divided into seven different baskets. The first five offer you theoretical basis for your learning, and those need to be studied in order from first to fifth. Each basket will be open in given dates. Please be precise with dates. Partly studies are conduct via teams meetings and with working in international study groups. The next two baskets are for practical workshops and simulation and the last one for the exam. |
| Materials | Learning material can be found in the Moodle. |
