NCT03888027
Patients admitted to hospital typically experience periods of decreased activity or bed-rest. This reduced activity level leads to deconditioning - a loss of muscle mass, muscle strength (by 2-5% per day), and muscle shortening. Even among patients who were ambulatory at the time of admission, deconditioning has been linked with deleterious effects, such as increased rates of falls, functional decline, and frailty. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the physiological stresses associated with hospitalization - including deconditioning, as well as sleep deprivation and poor nutrition - makes discharged patients vulnerable to recurrent or new illnesses and to frailty. This physiological stress-induced vulnerability has been coined "post-hospital syndrome" and is thought to have a role in most hospital readmissions. The investigators hypothesize that by engaging ambulatory patients to walk with trained volunteers, patients will increase their amount of walking, have less deconditioning and functional decline, and consequently, fewer falls. Furthermore, the investigators anticipate that patients who walk with a trained volunteer will have reduced length-of-stay in hospital and decreased likelihood of readmission. Finally, as shown in other similar programs, the investigators anticipate an overall improvement in the patient experience. The investigator's novel initiative focuses on a single, volunteer-based intentional ambulation program that can deliver the benefits of early mobility in a cost-effective way. The program design engages trained volunteers to increase patient ambulation in a way that both increases patient mobility and reduces healthcare professionals' workload.
NCT06053957
Objectives: This study will be conducted to determine the effect of early mobilization on postoperative recovery in abdominal surgery patients.. Methods: This research is a randomized controlled experimental study. In the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department, a total of 130 patients will be included, consisting of 65 experimental group and 65 control group, who are scheduled for abdominal surgery in the study. In the study, data will be collected using a survey form, Numerical Rating Scale, gradual mobilization chart in the first 24 hours after surgery, and Postoperative Recovery Index (PoRI-TR). On the day before the surgery, the experimental group will receive early mobilization training. On the day of the surgery, vital signs, oxygen saturation, and pain intensity will be assessed before the first mobilization. Pain control will be ensured before mobilization. Each mobilization will be carried out in accordance with the gradual mobilization schedule within the first 24 hours after surgery. Following the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol recommendation, mobilization will be provided outside of bed for a total of 2 hours, with durations increasing by the hour on the day of surgery under the supervision of the researcher: 5, 15, 25, 35, and 40 minutes. Mobilizations for patients showing signs of orthostatic hypotension will be postponed by 30 minutes. On the days following the surgery, patients will be informed to spend 6 hours outside of bed. The control group will receive routine care procedures. The second part of the questionnaire will be administered on the day of the surgery for both the experimental and control groups, and the PoRI-TR will be applied at the 25th hour after surgery. Data will be collected through face-to-face interviews within 20-25 minutes. The data obtained from the research will be evaluated using the SPSS 22.00 program. The normality of the data will be determined by Skewness-Kurtosis tests. Based on this result, either parametric or non-parametric tests will be applied.

The goal of the randomized clinical trial is to examine the effect of early mobilization on primary and secondary outcomes in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by aneurysm rupture. Researchers will compare early mobiliziation vs. standrad bed rest care.

NCT05587985
Objective: This study will be conducted to determine the effect of early mobilization on pain and mobility levels in patients who underwent total knee prothesis. Method: This study, which was designed as a randomized controlled experimental type, will be conducted with a total of 68 patients, 34 of whom were in the control group and 34 in the experimental group, who underwent total knee prothesis surgery in the orthopedics and traumatology service at Bartın State Hospital between September 2022 and June 2023. Research data will be collected with Participant Information Form, Brief Pain Inventory, Patient Mobility Scale and Observer Mobility Scale. During the data collection process, the pain level of the experimental group will be evaluated at the 8th hour after the operation, then the level of mobility will be evaluated by providing mobilization. The control group will only be evaluated for pain at the 8th hour after surgery, and they will not be mobilized. At the 20th hour after the surgery, pain assessment of both groups will be made, and then their mobility will be evaluated, and their mobility levels will be evaluated. SPSS 22.0 program will be used in the evaluation of the data. Whether the data is normally distributed or not will be tested by Shapiro-wilk analysis. According to the result of this, parametric and nonparametric methods will be used.
