New safe practices room provides prevention training space for nursing students
Date:11/21/2011

COLUMBIA, Mo. Nursing is among construction and law enforcement as one of seven professions reporting the most on-the-job injuries, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Sprains, strains or tears due to overexertion account for many of the injuries. Those injuries often can be attributed to improperly lifting, handling and moving patients.

Part of the Essig Simulation Lab, the safe practices room provides spaces for students to practice communication "handoffs," medication safety and lifting and moving patients. The room features a bariatric (obese) mannequin and patient transfer stations with specialized lifting equipment. Bathroom and shower facilities provide additional space for students to learn how to safely transfer patients.

"Hospitals conduct safety simulations with nurses using similar facilities," said Gretchen Gregory, an instructor of nursing. "Now we can use the safe practices room to do simulations with students before they enter the field."

Emelia Fujita, a senior nursing student, said the room will help familiarize students with equipment and procedures. She said continued practice in the room will help make prevention of errors second nature to the students.

"Incorporating the safe practices room into the curriculum goes beyond teaching students safe practices," Fujita said. "These students will become professionals who practice safe patient care, which will make hospitals safer for patients."

Gregory and Myra Aud, associate professor of nursing, use the room for clinical simulations with nursing students and students in other health professions, such
