- Abstract
Proper body mechanics are vitally important for keeping our spine healthy. And it's easy to incorporate these principals into our daily life. Poor body mechanics are often the cause of back problems. When we don't move correctly and safely, the spine is subjected to abnormal stresses that over time can lead to degeneration of spinal structures like discs and joints, injury, and unnecessary wear and tear. A study was conducted on “A study to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge and practices regarding body mechanics and handling of patient among multipurpose health workers in selected hospitals of Sangli,Miraj, kupwad corporation area.” The objective was 1. To assess the existing knowledge regarding body mechanics and handling of the patient.2. To assess the practices regarding body mechanics handling of the patient.3.To compare pre-test and post-test knowledge and practices score.4.To assess the co-relation between the knowledge and practices regarding body mechanics and handling of patient. Materials and Methods : A Pre-experimental one group pre-test and post test design was used. Quantitative research approach was used. 50 multipurpose health worker were selected by using non-probability convenient sampling method. The tool consists of section -I includes the demographic data and section- II knowledge and practices regarding body mechanics and handling of patient. The reliability of the tool for knowledge score was done by using split half method and reliability of practices score was done by using inter-rater method. The result was found to be > 0.7. A pilot study was conducted to check the feasibility and practicability of the statement. Result - P value on knowledge on body mechanics in MPHW was 0 i.e., less than 0.05, that shows planned teaching program on knowledge regarding body mechanics was effective. R value is 0. 3540 at p value was 0.00 23, showed that there was positive co-relation between knowledge with practices on body mechanics and handling of patient. Conclusion: The conclusion drawn from the present study is that the planned teaching programme provided to the multipurpose healthcare workers had a great impact on their knowledge regarding body mechanics and patient handling. The teaching and demonstration of body mechanics is very much important to maintain the quality of patient care by health workers to avoid body injuries.
