简要总结
Epidemiological studies have shown that patient transfer is a risk factor for back pain, back injuries and long term sickness absence, whereas consistent use of assistive devices during patient transfer is associated with reduced risk of back injury. In consequence, Danish hospitals have made great efforts to increase knowledge, availability and use of assistive devices to reduce work-related physical strain due to patient transfer. Yet, a recent survey among more than 300 nurses and nurses' aides showed that two thirds rarely uses assistive devices during patient transfer. Thus it seems relevant to investigate barriers, opportunities and practical solutions for increasing use of assistive devices among healthcare workers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a participatory organizational intervention for improved use of assistive devices during patient transfer.

研究组 & 干预措施
Participatory Organizational Intervention
Participatory intervention (workshops) with workers, consultants and leaders. The workshops will find solutions for increased use of assistive devices
干预措施: Participatory Organizational Intervention (Behavioral)
Control
This group will go through the same baseline and follow-up tests as the intervention group, but will not receive any intervention.
结局指标
主要结局
Use of assistive devices (push-button)
时间窗: Average use during the entire 1-year follow-up (i.e. continous measurement during 1 year) adjusted for use during 4 weeks prior to the intervention (baseline)
The healthcare workers are encouraged to push one of the following two buttons every time they leave the room after having performed patient transfer; button 1 "Press this button if you used the necessary assistive devices for your patient transfer" and button 2 "Press this button if you did not use the necessary assistive devices for your patient transfer". The number of Button 1 counts as a percentage of total counts (Button 1+2) will be calculated for set of counters and used as primary outcome.
