description Patient handling is part of the daily work of nursing staff. Often considered as an unrewarding, physically grueling, and rarely acknowledged task, it is the source of many occupational accidents and diseases every year. This task is nonetheless a crucial part of caretaking, at the very heart of the nursing occupation. Understanding patient handling and identifying and analyzing its various aspects may help alter the image of this task and improve its standing in health care. This would allow patient handling to once again be accorded care status. The approach to caretaking proposed in this paper may help professionals in the field to find – or rediscover – meaning in their work, thereby helping to preserve, build, and improve their health.
