“…The main themes underlying the questionnaires varied between the questionnaires, though the themes, “attitude,” “knowledge,” and “behavior” regarding early mobilization were frequently mentioned (Anekwe et al, 2017; Choong et al, 2013; Goodson et al, 2018; Jolley et al, 2014; Kim et al, 2018; Koo et al, 2016). Furthermore, in three questionnaires (Al-Nassan et al, 2019; Bakhru et al, 2015; Malone et al, 2015) the themes “staffing patterns,” “practices,” and “protocols” were incorporated.…”

“…Face validity was excellent in six questionnaires based on the use of the clinical sensibility format (Anekwe et al, 2017; Choong et al, 2013; Koo et al, 2016) or on experts performing a structured evaluation related to what the questionnaire intended to measure (Bakhru et al, 2015; Goodson et al, 2018; Kim et al, 2018). Five other questionnaires (Al-Nassan et al, 2019; Castro et al, 2015; Dafoe et al, 2015; Jolley et al, 2014; Malone et al, 2015) had moderate face validity (Table 2).…”

“…In two questionnaires (Bakhru et al, 2015; Dafoe et al, 2015) content validity was moderate, as experts had been involved but this was not extensively described and/or no reliability was tested (Table 2). The remaining six questionnaires (Al-Nassan et al, 2019; Castro et al, 2015; Jolley et al, 2014; Joyce et al, 2018; Malone et al, 2015; Taito et al, 2018) provided limited or no information about content validity.…”

“…However, as questions often contained sub-items the total number of to-be-answered items per questionnaire was 7 to 205. In three questionnaires (Al-Nassan et al, 2019; Goodson et al, 2018; Malone et al, 2015) the time required to fill in the questionnaire was given and ranged from 5 to 15 min (Table 4). Others did not report this.…”

Questionnaires to Assess Facilitators and Barriers of Early Mobilization in Critically Ill Patients; Which One to Choose? A Systematic Review

et al. 2020

Implementing and performing early mobilization is a complex process requiring multidisciplinary input and cooperation. To gain insight in its facilitators and barriers, various surveys have been developed. A systematic review was conducted, to identify the psychometric properties, feasibility and suitability of questionnaires to assess facilitators and barriers of early mobilization in critically ill patients. Data were extracted regarding a.o. definition of early mobilization, development, psychometric properties, content and themes, question format. The search identified 537 publications of which 13 unique questionnaires were included. The questionnaires showed wide variation in extensiveness of development. Only six questionnaires actually assessed validity and reliability. Which questionnaire to choose depends on the aim of its use, required level of detail and specifics of the ICU, though three questionnaires were recommended as their definition of early mobilization covered a broad range of activities, including nursing related mobility activities. International consensus on what constitutes early mobilization is desirable.

“…Most of the PTs responded that they learnt ICU PT management from their seniors and coworkers. Research conducted in Jordan reported that the main barriers were inadequate training, insufficient staffing, inadequate perceived importance, and consultation with the PTs working in ICU [ 28 ]. A similar trend was reported in Sri Lanka regarding inadequate staffing and training in ICU among PTs [ 29 ].…”

Background. Early mobilisation of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with positive health benefits. Research literature lacks insight into the current status of ICU physical therapy (PT) practice in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Aim. To determine the current standard of ICU PT practice, attitude, and barriers. Methods. A questionnaire was e-mailed to physiotherapists (PTs) working in the hospital. The questions pertained to experience, qualification, barriers, and most frequently encountered case scenarios in the ICU. Results. The response rate was 28.1% (124/442). Frequent cases referred to the PTs were traumatic paraplegia (n = 111, 89%) and stroke (n = 102, 82.3%) as compared to congestive heart failure (n = 20, 16.1%) and pulmonary infections (n = 7, 5.6%). The preferred treatment of choice among PTs was chest physiotherapy (n = 102, 82.2%) and positioning (n = 73, 58.8%), whereas functional electrical stimulation (n = 12, 9.6%) was least preferred irrespective of the condition. Perceived barriers in the ICU PT management were of low confidence in managing cases (n = 89, 71.7%) followed by inadequate training (n = 53, 42.7%), and the least quoted barrier was a communication gap between the critical care team members (n = 8, 6.4%). Conclusion. PTs reported significant variation in the choice of treatment for different clinical cases inside ICU. The main barriers in the ICU setting were low confidence and inadequate training.
