Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?The purpose of this research study is to decide if using a nurse-led mobility protocol affects teamwork perceptions, when mobilizing ventilated neurosurgery patients. Participants will mobilize ventilated neurosurgery patients according to either facility standard procedures or a piloted nurse-led mobility protocol. Each selected patient will be mobilized once during his/her hospitalization for the purposes of this study. Patient mobility may take up to 1 hour. Following this, participating staff will be asked to complete a survey used to measure teamwork perceptions. Participants will be given up to 30 minutes to complete the survey. Total study duration is 3 months.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Experimental/interventional groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The experimental/interventional group will consist of multidisciplinary teams who will use a given nurse-led protocol (intervention) to mobilize the assigned patient.

Group II: Control/non-experimental groupActive Control1 Intervention

The control/nonexperimental group will consist of multidisciplinary teams, who will not be given the nurse-led protocol and will be asked to mobilize the assigned ventilated neurosurgery patient according the facility's standard mobility procedures.
