Title of Learning: Personal Care and Moving and Handling

As nursing associate student part of my learning practical lesson on personal care and moving and handling was an important experience. we learned how to assist patients with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and hygiene, ensuring their dignity and comfort are maintained at all times. this reminded me of the importance of empathy and respect when dealing with vulnerable individuals who rely on us for their personal care.

in our moving handling session, we practiced safe techniques for transferring patients, using equipment such as hoist and slide sheets. this is critical not only for the safety of the patient but also for preventing injury to ourselves as healthcare workers. the session emphasized the correct posture, body mechanics, and communication with the patient, which helps build trust and makes the process easier.

this practical experienced boosted my confidence in providing safe and effective care. we understand that these skills are fundamental to my role and will help me offer better support to patients in maintaining their quality of life.
