Introduction Educational module that incorporates
general knowledge of: Body mechanics Child transfers Childcare equipment
Practical skills Everyday application
Introduction Reasons for implementation
No current program exists PTs possess thorough knowledge of topic Primary childcare providers at high risk for
injury Promote health awareness Provide community with opportunity for
prevention
Mission Statement Healthy Baby Carriers, Inc. is dedicated to
the incorporation of body mechanics into routine childcare. We are committed to educating childcare providers on safe and efficient utilization of child transportation equipment and manual transfer techniques.

Target Group Expectant couples Guardians Day Care workers Other primary caregivers
Key Issues Body Mechanics Safety of self and child Injury prevention
Question-type Likert scale Open-ended questions
Testing survey questions Review by colleagues Pilot survey
Survey Results Interest – 75%
Pain – 85%

Community Needs Assessment
Literature Review Injuries 2° to poor body
mechanics Workers Compensation
in the Daycare setting Lack of research on parents
Task Analysis Performed at a daycare center Direct observation and
documentation Review Findings
Interviews Parents/Guardians Doctors Nurses Physical therapists Daycare workers Other primary care providers
Kumagai et al (1995), King et al (1996), Lynch et al (2000), Leff et al (2000)
Literature Review Teachers in daycare
spent half of day at 20° lumbar flexion
When working with ages 0-1, lifted 46 times/day
Inadequate work heights
Sitting on floor w/o back support
Proven efficacy of body mechanics training
Relatively inexpensive
Not much info on parents and lifting
Program Needs Assessment Materials Needed
Projector & laptop for PowerPoint pres
Handouts, manuals Demo products
Strollers Carriers Dolls
Tables, chairs Open Space
Potential sites Community center Hospitals Day Care Center

Program Needs Assessment Accessibility? Parking? Childcare for
program participants? Cost of program and
affordability? Outside funding?
No prerequisites needed except literacy and interest in childcare
Goals and StandardsChild Transportation Equipment
Goal: To graduate clients who demonstrate safe and successful use of child transportation equipment.
Standard: Upon review of final practical exam scores, 100% of participants will score 75% or greater.
Goal: To graduate clients who demonstrate knowledge of types of safe infant/young child transportation equipment.
Standard: Upon review of midterm written exam scores, 100% will score 75% or greater.
Cognitive ObjectivesChild Transportation Equipment
Knowledge: The participants will be able to state the proper usage for various types of child transportation equipment.
Comprehension: The participants will be able to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using various types of child transportation equipment.
Application: Given a situation and piece of equipment, the participants will be able to interpret the possible risks of not utilizing appropriate body mechanics.
Cognitive ObjectivesChild Transportation Equipment
Analysis: The participants will be able to classify various types of transportation equipment according to their level of safety to child and caregiver.
Synthesis: Given a case scenario and particular type of transportation equipment, the participant will be able to formulate a plan for transferring the child using optimal body mechanics.
Evaluation: The participants will be able to independently select the most appropriate child transportation equipment for a given case scenario..
Affective Objectives Receiving- The participants will attend a class on proper body
mechanics during childcare.
Responding- The participants will discuss the areas of their body mechanics that need improvement.
Valuing- The participants will seek ways to improve their body mechanics in their everyday lives.
Organizing- The participants will favor the execution of proper body mechanics when caring for a child.
Characterization- The participants will volunteer to assist others in shopping for ergonomic childcare equipment.
Psychomotor ObjectivesChild Transportation Equipment
Perception: The participants will observe teachers demonstrating safe carrying techniques.
Set: The participants will adjust their body positions to safely carry a child.
Mechanism: The participants will perform a safe carrying technique with minimal assistance from the instructor.
Psychomotor ObjectivesChild Transportation Equipment
Complex Overt Response: The participants will independently complete a safe carrying technique.
Adaptation: The participants will independently perform a safe carrying technique.
Organization: The participant will utilize safe carrying techniques to carry more than one child independently.
Teaching Strategies Lecture/Recitation
Efficient delivery Incorporates many learning styles Small/large groups Day 1: traditional lecture with opportunity for Q &A Day 2: recitation; case scenarios, brainstorming,
discussion & problem solving Audiovisual: PowerPoint, overheads, videos,
handouts
Teaching Strategies Lab
Demonstration/Return Demonstration Practical Observation & performance
Discussion Case scenarios
Problem solving Critical thinking
Materials Learning styles
Teaching StrategiesPOTENTIAL PROBLEMS
Technical problems (i.e. AV equipment) Lack of participation Student/teacher ratio Language barriers Environmental constraints (i.e. size of room, home accessibility)
Evaluation Formative
Purpose: to revise instruction, identify problem areas & give feedback to instructors/students
Tools In class questioning One-minute papers Midterm quiz Skills checklist
Evaluation Summative
Purpose: assess outcome or mastery of learning; determine if goals are met
Tools Final practical exam Course evaluation
Reliability of Eval Methods Split-half reliability
Midterm quiz Cronbach’s Alpha & Kappa Statistic
Surveys and course eval Interrator reliability
Final practical Peer review
All tools
Validity of Eval Methods Face Validity
Multiple choice questions to test knowledge of subject matter
Final practical to assess performance of skills
Content Validity Midterm quiz will assess cognitive objectives Final practical will assess pyschomotor objectives
Predictive Validity Prediction of safe practice techniques at home
Conclusion Make a positive impact on the area of
childcare & body mechanics
Contribute to growth of PT profession
Increase PT involvement in educating community
