About this study

The study sample consisted of 42 patients, 21 of whom were the control group and 21 were the intervention group, who had undergone major abdominal open surgery between May and September 2019. The routine mobilization follow-up approach of the intensive care unit was applied to the patients in the control group, and the early mobilization protocol developed by using up-to-date guidelines and expert opinions were applied to the patients in the intervention group. In the study, the data of the control group were firstly collected, then the early mobilization protocol was introduced to the patients through the training brochure prepared and then data of the intervention group were collected. In the study, the characteristics of the patients in both groups belonging to the preoperative period, the distance they walked in the 6-minute walking test and the results of the postoperative period were recorded.

Treatment and study plan

Patient mobilization with pre-operative mobilization training and mobilization protocol

Other

Postoperative mobilization for the first 24 hours

Primary outcomes

  1. The effect of mobilization protocol on mobilization start time

    Time frame: first 24 hours postoperatif

    In the postoperative period, the hour of mobilization of the patient was recorded.The group in which the mobilization protocol was applied and the group in which the mobilization protocol was not applied were compared

  2. Postoperative sleep quality

    Time frame: Postoperative 24th hour

    VAS is considered a valid, reliable and usable measurement tool used to convert some values that cannot be measured numerically into numericals. Possible scores from 0 (worst case) to 10 (best case)

  3. Postoperative patient satisfaction

    Time frame: Postoperative 24th hour

    VAS is considered a valid, reliable and usable measurement tool used to convert some values that cannot be measured numerically into numericals. Possible scores from 0 (worst case) to 10 (best case)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Postoperative number of steps

    Time frame: The total number of steps taken during the first 24 hours postoperatively

    Pedometer programs are easy-to-use mobile applications where features such as the number of steps taken at a given time and walking distance can be recorded. Pedometer application is downloaded to the phone, the number of steps and walking distance are recorded by carrying it in a pocket or bag. In this study, Developer: ITO Technologies Inc, category: health and fitness, version 1.1.10 pedometer program was used.
