简要总结
On the one hand, transferring patient from bed to bed is usually handling by the manual lifting of several staffs or utilizing bedsheet, slide sheet , shovel-style stretcher or other devices to move and lift patients. Whatever, there are some advantages using these devices.
On the other hand, nurses are among the professionals at the highest risk for musculoskeletal disorders. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has shown that overexertion in manual lifting was the main event or exposure leading to injury or illness involving time away from work. Excessive weights, awkward postures, and repetitive motions are some of the known risk factors that contribute to sprains/strains and back injuries. During the process of patient transferring , it refers to the above risk factors for health-care workers. It recommended that using appropriate assistive equipment can reduce the injuries. If staff is safe, patients are safer.
The research team has designed and produced a new transport assistive devices-- biodegradable and air-suspending transfer mattress, which was precisely controlled by gas flow and based on ergonomics. And then apply it to the clinic in order to find whether it's benefit for patients and nursing staff.
It is a randomized controlled trial design.
详细描述
Research design：randomized controlled trials. Computer generated random numbers. The patients were randomly divided into three groups, ① transfer patients by air-suspending mattress, ② transfer patients by slide board, ③ transfer patients by bedsheets.
Participants: passive patient with transports needs, such as CT/ MRI examination etc. The sample size estimation was according to the formula of multiple parallel design. The main outcome measure was the perceived exertion.

结局指标
主要结局
Force value
时间窗: Day 1
Spring balance was used to measured the pulling force while transferring patients.(Force value in N)
perceived exertion
时间窗: Day 1
Perceived exertion was evaluated by using the Borg Scale of 6-20, which the values near 6 and 20 represent low and high physical exertion, respectively.（perceived exertion in scores）
次要结局
- oxygen saturation(Day 1（before and after transferring）)
- respiration rate(Day 1（before and after transferring）)
- blood pressure(Day 1（before and after transferring）)
- heart rate(Day 1（before and after transferring）)
- Transfer time(Day 1)
