Manual patient bed transfer to another hospital bed including lifting, transferring and repositioning is still bringin problem for nurses and also patience. For a nurse manual patience bed transfer can lead to low back pain because the body must bend when move patient into another hospital bed. Based on the evaluation of the posture of the nurse with Rapid Upper Limb Assesment (RULA) the result in bodily posture nurse get that can cause pain at some point. It's in prove with the results of kuisioner SNQ, showed that posture such work can cause pain if conducted continuously. The objective of this study is to design a concept of interchangeable hospital bed mattresses.The first step of this study is the problem analysis to the patient transfer process and the beds they currently use. This activity was begins trough observation, direct interrogation, and the deployment of Nordic Body Map equiped questionaire. After the analysis showed the point of the problem, there can be developed a tool design for transferring patient into another hospital bed, the concepts with their fitures which can accommodate requirements of the process, encompass the nurses’ anthropometry based bed dimension, the bed mechanical mechanisms, and some supporting fitures. The result of this study are concepts of both hospital wards bed and transit bed which theoretically can eliminate the nurses low back pain.
