About this study

Official title: Determination Of Factors Affecting Mobility In Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery

This descriptive study was conducted to determine the factors affecting mobility in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

Read the detailed description

Surgical factors that may affect the mobility of patients undergoing abdominal surgery should be examined, as well as individual characteristics and characteristics related to the postoperative period. If nurses know about the factors that may affect the patient's mobility after surgery, this may be helpful in effectively managing these factors in clinics and encouraging the patient to be more active.

This study was conducted to determine the mobility of patients who underwent abdominal surgery in the early postoperative period and the factors affecting mobility.

cross sectionalThe population of the study consisted of 236 patients who underwent cholecystectomy, appendectomy, hernia surgery and bariatric surgery in the general surgery clinic of the specified hospital on the dates of data collection. Among these patients, 152 patients who met the sampling criteria and volunteered to participate in the study were included in the sample.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patient Mobility Scale

    Through the patient mobility scale, the observer assesses the pain and difficulty experienced while exercising four activities in the postoperative period: "turning from one side of the bed to the other", "sitting on the edge of the bed", "standing up on the edge of the bed" and "walking in the patient room". The severity of perceived pain was rated on a five-point Likert-type scale anchored at "no pain(1)", " a little pain (2)", "moderate pain (3)", "a lot of pain (4)", "the worst pain (5)"; and the degree of difficulty was rated on a five-point Likert-type scale anchored at "very easy (1), easy (2), a bit difficult (3), difficult (4), and very difficult (5)" to determine how much pain and difficulty they felt. The pain and difficulty scores for each movement are summed up separately. The minimum and maximum scores for pain and difficulty are 4 and 20, respectively. A higher score means an increase in the degree of pain and difficulty of the movement.

    Measured: at day 1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Observer Mobility Scale

    This scale assesses the extent to which patients are dependent/independent during the movements, and the observer measures blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate two minutes before and two minutes after the movement. Patients are assessed on a 1-5-point scale for their dependence while doing the movements. One point on the scale means that the patient can move independently, while five points means that the patient is unable to move despite verbal warnings and physical assistance. The total score of the scale is obtained by summing the scores for the four movements: "turning from one side of the bed to the other", "sitting on the edge of the bed", "standing up on the edge of the bed" and "walking in the patient room". The minimum and maximum scores of the scale are 4 and 20, respectively. The higher the score, the greater the dependency during the movement

    Measured: at day 1

  2. Questionnaire for Factors Affecting Movement

    The form included 17 questions on post-operative nausea-vomiting, sleep duration, presence of visitors, feeling weak, fear of falling, needing someone while moving, presence of someone to support while moving, fear of wounds to dehiscence while moving, suffering from stress due to surgery, use of the medical devices, pain, uncomfortable clothes and lack of information on how to move.

    Measured: at day 1

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patient Mobility Scale (time frame: at day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Aug 2024.
