The goal of this intervention study is to test the effects of a nurse-led mobility intervention (known as the OASIS Walking Intervention (Older Adults performing Sit to Stands and Walking Intervention)) in older adults with cognitive impairment, such as dementia, in transitional care programs.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Participants will be asked to do the following:
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of and satisfaction of participants with a novel intervention - the OASIS Walking Intervention (that is, the Older Adults with cognitive impairment performing Sit to Stands and Walking Intervention) in a facility-based TCPs.
The second aim is to determine the efficacy of the OASIS Walking intervention on muscle strength, mobility, functional status, quality of life, and discharge destination.
A feasibility study will be undertaken for this three-component intervention project. In terms of study design, a quasi-experimental one group time series design will be used.
A sample size of 26 patient participants and their substitute decision makers will participate in the study. Participants will be older adults ≥65 years admitted to a facility-based transitional care unit in Ontario.
The Older Adults with cognitive impairment performing the Sit to Stands and Walking Intervention is a nurse-led intervention that consists of three components: 1) Patient-Centered Communication Care Plan (informed by interviews with the participant and their care partner); 2) Sit to Stand Activity; and 3) Walking program. This intervention is grounded using a patient centered approach.
For patients in the Long-Term Care Stream or Rehab Stream Arm, the dose of the intervention is: up to 45 minutes per session, five sessions per week, for six weeks. Approximately up to 30 minutes will be spent walking with the participant and up to 15 minutes will be spent performing the sit-to-stand activity.
For patients in the Reactivation Stream Intervention Arm, the dose of the intervention is: up to 45 minutes per session, five sessions per week, for three weeks. Approximately up to 30 minutes will be spent walking with the participant and up to 15 minutes will be spent performing the sit-to-stand activity.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long-term Care Stream or Rehab Stream Intervention Arm | Experimental | Intervention Dose: Up to 45 minutes per session, 5 sessions per week, for 6 weeks. Approximately up to 30 minutes will be spent walking; up to 15 minutes will be spent performing sit-to-stands. Intervention Components: Component 1: Patient-Centered Communication Care Plan. A patient-centered communication care plan will be created, to promote enjoyment and engagement during the sessions. The care plan will be informed by interviews with the participant and their care partner. Component 2: Sit to Stand Activity. A target number of sit to stands per session will be determined based on a baseline assessment and according to an algorithm; the target will be progressed halfway into the intervention. Component 3: Walking Program. Based on the findings from the patient-centered assessment interviews as well as the performance of the participants on a walk test at baseline (Time 1), an individualized walking program will be carried out with participants. |
