Outline of Final Research Achievements

There were some significant differences between nursing students and skilled nurses in bodily movement when assisting patient moving from bed to chair. The position of the center of gravity and the base of support while assisting patient and the distance between helper and patient were important factors of body mechanics. To accelerate the use of body mechanics to nursing students, self-learning material of body mechanics which visualized the differences of bodily movement between nursing students and skilled nurses was developed. As the result, developed e-learning material was useful for the students to review the basic skills. However, this e-learning material needs some improvements such as mobile access. Using e-learning material which helps visualizing bodily movement and understanding the elements of body mechanics was effective to enhance cyclic structure of self-regulated learning (self-reflection - forethought - performance/volitional control) to develop basic nursing skills.
