【 摘 要 】

Body mechanic checklist scores, thigh, trunk, and center ofgravity displacement during a one person pivot transfer, andboosting up in bed were evaluated to determine theeffectiveness of job specific training on the workperformance of female student nurses from a local college.Thirty female S;;s participated in the study and were dividedinto a control group, an experimental group that receivedbasic body mechanic training, and an experimental group thatreceived job specific training. Results of the bodymechanic checklist analysis indicated that the job specifictraining group demonstrated a statistically significantimprovement in their body mechanic techniques compared tothe other two groups. Results of the kinematic analysisfound no significant differences in thigh and trunkdisplacement during the one person pivot transfer betweenthe three groups. Results of the thigh, trunk, andhorizontal center of gravity displacement during boosting apatient up in bed indicated that the job specific traininggroup improved their body mechanic techniques compared tothe other two groups.
