Preventing Hospital-Acquired Disability: An Intervention to Improve Older Adult Patient Ambulation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MOVIN and Surveys and Focus groups for Early Mobility and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 765 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The MOVIN (Mobilizing Older adult patients Via a systems-based Intervention) randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate the impact of the MOVIN intervention on improving the functional ability of older adult hospital patients and reducing their healthcare utilization post-hospitalization. MOVIN is a program to increase patient ambulation while hospitalized. The study's hypothesis is that MOVIN will improve functional outcomes for hospitalized older adult patients by producing a change in nursing practice and culture of ambulation on inpatient units. MOVIN is a unit-based intervention. Therefore all patients on this unit are exposed to the intervention once it is implemented regardless of whether or not they participate in the trial. The study will enroll 360-420 total hospitalized participants 65 years and older for the duration of their stay. It will also enroll any nurses 18 years and older who worked on the units during the study and are willing to fill out surveys.

Timeline
Interventions
MOVIN is a multi-component unit-based intervention comprised of five components that are implemented simultaneously in a hospital unit. The five components are: 1) psychomotor skills training, 2) unit ambulation culture, 3) communication, 4) resources, 5) ambulation environment.
Nurses will answer surveys about nurse behavior, changes in self-efficacy, frequency and distance of patient ambulation, documentation of ambulation, qualitative data collected to determine barriers to implementation
