Reducing Physical Workload Among Assistant Nurses Through Ergonomic Work Technique Training With or Without Biofeedback (HUMLA)
Reducing Physical Workload Among Assistant Nurses Through Ergonomic Work Technique Training With or Without Biofeedback: Study Protocol for a Multicentre Randomised Controlled Trial
Assistant nurses often develop work-related pain in the back, neck and shoulders because their work involves frequent patient handling and movement. Training in safe patient handling may help reduce pain and injury risk, and biofeedback may further support better work techniques during everyday care work.
This study will test whether workplace-based training in patient handling can reduce musculoskeletal problems among assistant nurses. It will also examine whether adding six weeks of self-managed biofeedback-supported work technique training gives extra benefits compared with patient handling training alone. The study will include 60 assistant nurses with musculoskeletal symptoms, who will be randomly assigned to one of the two training groups. Data will be collected through interviews, physical assessments, questionnaires at baseline, six weeks and six months, and weekly SMS monitoring. Interviews with assistant nurses and managers will also explore how the intervention works in practice, how safe patient handling can be promoted, and what organisational factors support safer working methods.

Descrizione dettagliata
Introduction: Assistant nurses (AN) are at high risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) affecting the back and neck/shoulder region. Patient handling and movement (PHM) competence and safe working methods may reduce symptoms and injury risk. Biofeedback may further support the acquisition of more sustainable work techniques. However, early workplace-based interventions using biofeedback during ordinary care work remain insufficiently explored. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether early workplace-based interventions focused on PHM competence can reduce WMSD among AN. Another aim is to examine whether self-administered work technique training supported by biofeedback provides additional benefits beyond PHM competence training alone. Furthermore, we aim to explore managers' experiences of promoting workplace safety within nursing assistants' caregiving practice.
Methods and analysis: This is a multicentre, prospective, longitudinal, two-arm randomised controlled trial in which 60 AN with WMSD will be included. After providing written informed consent, participants will be randomised to PHM training alone or PHM training plus six weeks of self-administered biofeedback-supported work technique training. Data will be collected through clinical interviews, functional screening, and physical measures. Questionnaires will be completed at baseline, six weeks and six months. Weekly SMS-based monitoring will be conducted throughout the intervention period. Semi-structured interviews with AN and managers will explore experiences of the intervention, feasibility, implementation and organisational conditions for safe PHM. Quantitative data will be analysed using parametric or non-parametric methods, as appropriate, and interview data using inductive qualitative content analysis.
Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval was obtained from the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (2027-4422-01). All participants will provide written informed consent before participation. Data will be handled confidentially, stored securely and reported in non-identifiable form in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and the General Data Protection Regulation. Findings will be disseminated to healthcare, stakeholders, and students, and through scientific publications and presentations.
Following participant approval, managers will receive an information letter describing the study and its requirements. Because participation will take place during working hours, approval from the participant's immediate manager is required. Managers of participating AN will also be invited to participate after providing written informed consent; the number of managers is not predetermined, as more than one nursing assistant may be recruited from each workplace.
Each participant's manager will be provided with information regarding the study design and will receive educational material focused on ergonomics and PHM competence. Both participants and their managers will have access to project support and may contact the research team with questions throughout the study period.

Comparatore attivo: Group A. Patient handling and movement training
Participants in both Groups A and B will during the first weeks receive a digital educational programme comprising modules delivered through educational platform of the county council of Östergötland. In addition, participants will receive a five-step checklist describing safe PHM, based on Safe Patient Handling - A Research-Based Guide for an Improved Work Environment. The educational content emphasises theoretical and practical training in PHM competence, including the importance of conducting risk assessments and evaluating risks associated with each patient transfer and other physically demanding work tasks. Participants will also receive practical instruction in PHM techniques within their own workplace. |

Comparatore attivo: Group B. Patient handling and movement training plus biofeedback
Group B. As described above plus Biofeedback-supported work technique training.
Participants in Group B will receive six weeks of self-administered biofeedback-supported work technique training in addition to PHM training.
The system uses inertial measurement unit sensors attached to the trunk and upper arm to monitor back and arm postures during routine work activities, with particular focus on the neck/shoulder region and back (34, 35) (Figure 2).
When unfavourable postures are detected, participants receive gentle vibratory feedback, increasing with less favourable postures and stopping when more ergonomic postures are adopted.
After instruction and practical training, participants will use the system independently during ordinary work tasks to develop more ergonomic and less physically demanding techniques.
The minimum dose is 10 sessions of at least 20 minutes over six weeks, although participants may complete longer or additional sessions if they wish.
|
Biofeedback-supported work technique training (Group B): Participants in Group B will additionally receive six weeks of self-administered work technique training supported by biofeedback (Wergonic AB, Tullinge, Sweden).
Wearable inertial measurement unit sensors attached to the trunk and upper arm will monitor working postures during routine care work, particularly movements involving the back and neck/shoulder region (34, 35) (Figure 2).
When unfavourable postures are detected, the system provides gentle vibrotactile feedback, which increases with less favourable postures and stops when a more ergonomic posture is adopted.
After instruction, participants will use the system independently during normal work to practise less physically demanding work techniques.
They will complete at least ten sessions of a minimum of 20 minutes over six weeks, with the option to train more frequently or for longer periods.
