Official title

Investigation on the Benefit of a Structured Manual Handling Training Program Regarding Paramedics' Technical Proficiency, Knowledge, and Behavioral Intentions on Clinical Practice Safety.

Overview

Effect of the "EMS Back-Up" Ergonomic Program on Paramedics' Manual Handling Safety.

Interventions

  • Behavioral EMS Back-Up Program
    A multi-modal training session including: 1. Theoretical lectures on biomechanics and ergonomics. 2. Skill-based workshop (SAFE process). 3. High-fidelity simulation of patient extrication and manual handling.

Primary outcome measures

  • Total Score on the Standardized Manual Handling Checklist [Time frame: Baseline (Pre-test) and Immediate Post-intervention (within 8 hours).]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
  • Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE) [Time frame: Baseline and Immediate Post-intervention.]
  • Score on the EMS Ergonomics and Safety Knowledge Test [Time frame: Baseline and Immediate Post-intervention.]
  • Mean Score of Transtheoretical Model (TTM) Stages of Change [Time frame: Baseline and Immediate Post-intervention.]
  • Mean Score of Health Belief Model (HBM) Self-Efficacy Construct [Time frame: Baseline and Immediate Post-intervention.]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Frontline Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) or paramedics.
  • Active duty personnel involved in patient handling and transport.

Exclusion criteria

  • Non-frontline personnel (administrative only).
  • Students or trainees not yet in clinical practice.

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
