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.

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

The nurse-led mobility progression protocol incorporates a checklist for four primary team members belonging to each discipline to follow before, during, and after providing mobility for each patient. It outlines steps to progress patient mobility from in-bed mobility activities to out-of-bed activities as tolerated. This protocol intervention was created and designed based upon a review of previously conducted studies' interventions and findings, as well as expert guidelines established in the literature. Furthermore, multidisciplinary experts at the medical center who work with ventilated neurosurgery patients were consulted to form the protocol to further establish hemodynamic, neurological, respiratory, and physiological patient safety parameters. This intervention has not been implemented in previous studies and will be piloted for this study.

Will be measured using the reliable and valid Nursing Teamwork Survey (NTS) established by Beatrice Kalisch, PhD. The NTS is composed of items with Likert-type scale ranging from 1-5. Higher scores indicate more positive perceptions of teamwork, while lower scores indicate more negative perceptions of teamwork. This scale has been tested and has good psychometric properties including adequate validity and reliability. The minimum total score is 33, while the highest possible score is 165 per participant.
