Early Mobilization in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients: Advancing Recovery Through Evidence-Based Practice

Tags: ICU multidisciplinary patient outcomes recovery review study

The proposed study aims to examine how the timing of early mobilization in mechanically ventilated patients influences Intensive Care Unit (ICU) length of stay and the incidence of delirium. The purpose of this study is to identify key factors and barriers that delay early mobilization efforts, which may contribute to lengthened hospital stays and higher delirium rates among critically ill patients. This study is guided by the research question: How does the timing of mobilization in mechanically ventilated patients influence length of stay and incidence of delirium? Understanding these relationships is essential for improving patient outcomes, optimizing critical care practices, and promoting evidenced-based interventions. The findings from this study have the potential to inform clinical guidelines and encourage multidisciplinary collaboration to overcome barriers to early mobilization in the ICU.

Predicting exercise adherence in cancer patients and survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of motivational and behavioural factors

Tags: adherence behavior cancer cancer patients chemotherapy exercise meta-analysis physical activity recruiting review treatment

Cancer patients are advised to participate in daily exercise. Whether they comply with the recommendations for physical activity or not remains unclear. The review identified that both the TPB and the TTM frameworks include aspects that predicts exercise adherence in cancer patients, and thus contributes to the understanding of motivational factors of change in exercise behaviour in cancer populations. However, the strengths of predictions were relatively weak. More research is needed to identify predictors of greater importance.
