The SAPHA course
The largest output of RENE project, named as “Development of the SAPHA-course”, is to create
SAPHA-course contents and outlines. The whole development process will strengthen the skills and
knowledge of the HEI staff in health care sector, in the field of ergonomics and, increase the skills in
patient handling in safe and rehabilitating way.
The SAPHA-course itself will raise the quality of patient handling and ergonomics education in health care in participating HEIs. As the SAPHA course method is based on multiple and variable pedagogic methods, such as flipped learning,
learning-by-doing, simulations and InnoPeda®-methodology, it will introduce novel pedagogic solutions to the ergonomic education.
The last section of the practical part of SAPHA-course consist of work-life project, where the students are teaching and guiding the safe and rehabilitating patient handling to already qualified health care professionals. The skills of teaching and guiding patient handling in safe and rehabilitating way is often requirement for example physiotherapy students.
As a short-term impact, SAPHA course will enhance the skills of health care students and HEI staff, and in addition has an impact on the professionals in the clinical placements. The long-term results of this course will lead to increased student exchange, as the participating HEIs are able to offer more international courses on regular basis. Increased student exchange will support those future professionals for the staff mobility in long run in Europe.
This product will equalize and unify patient handling in participating HEI, offer a channel to increase workplace safety and facilitate the utilization of full rehabilitation potential the patients have. The SAPHA-course will not only fit into curricula of Bachelor level studies but may also be offered as further training for professionals in working life.
