Insufficient mobility contributes to functional decline in hospitalized cardiac patients. Early mobilization programs were shown to improve functional status, increase the likelihood of home discharges, and reduce the length of stay [1]. Therefore, there is a need to adapt and implement early mobilization programs in Quebec hospitals. The overall goal of this study is to adapt and implement an early mobilization program in the Cardiovascular units of the Jewish General Hospital (JGH).
Background: Insufficient mobility contributes to functional decline in cardiovascular units. Early mobilization programs were shown to improve functional status, increase the likelihood of home discharges, and reduce the length of stay [1]. One example is the Level of Function (LOF) Mobility Scale implemented in the Cardiovascular units at the Jewish General Hospital, an academic tertiary care centre in Montreal, Quebec [2]. Despite evidence supporting the benefits of early mobilization programs, hospitalized individuals in cardiovascular units spend most of the day in bed [1-6]. Therefore, there is a need to adapt and implement early mobilization programs in Quebec hospitals. This project is research nested in a quality improvement initiative for the Jewish General Hospital Cardiovascular units.
Objectives: 1) Adapt an early mobilization program in a hospital setting; 2) Develop strategies to overcome individual and organizational barriers to implementing an early mobilization program; 3) Assess the reach, acceptability, and fidelity of implementing an early mobilization program; and 4) Assess the program's impact on patients and the organization.
Methods: A 3-phase study using an iterative participative approach. Phase 1: a qualitative design to adapt an early mobilization program. Phase 2: mixed methods repeated measures design to assess barriers and facilitators to implementing the program and develop implementation strategies.
Phase 3: An interrupted time series design to assess the implementation and the impact of the program.
Expected contribution: Early mobilization programs in the Cardiovascular units can improve the quality of care provided to these patients and promote further clinician-researcher partnerships, contributing to improved uptake of best practices in this clinical context.

| Applying the Early Mobilization Program | Behavioral | A mobilization intervention based on the level of function (LOF) ( i.e. patients should be assessed for mobilization status within 24 hours of admission; mobilization should occur at least three times a day, and mobility should be progressive and scaled, tailored to the patient's abilities); The frequency of patient mobilization (primary outcome) will be assessed 20 weeks before implementation, during the 20 weeks of implementation and 20 weeks after the end of implementation (60 weeks in total). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of implementation strategies developed to overcome the identified individual and organizational barriers and leverage the facilitators to implement an early mobilization program in this hospital setting. | Investigators will develop strategies to overcome identified barriers and leverage the facilitators to implement the early mobilization program using data obtained from a mixed methods repeated measures design, including: A) Shadowing: an observational grid will be developed, including frequency of mobilization, length of mobilization activity, Health care professionals (HCPs) performing mobilization intervention, type of mobilization intervention, patient and caregiver acceptance and reaction, environmental barriers, available equipment, communication strategies among HCPs, reporting of mobilization interventions in the medical charts, clinicians' comment and observers' impressions and thoughts. B) HCPs will be invited to respond to a survey and participate in a focus group to assess perceived barriers and facilitators to early mobilization. C) Patients and caregivers will participate in a focus group to better understand barriers and facilitators to early mobilization. | 3 months |
| Number of patients mobilized divided by the total number of admitted patients during the evaluation period. | Reach of the early mobilization program among patients will be measured with the following indicator: the number of patients mobilized (defined as the patient not being in bed during direct observation) divided by the total number of admitted patients during the evaluation period. | 3 months |
| Number of Patients refused being mobilized compared to number of admited patients during the evaluation period. | Acceptability of the early mobilization program among patients will be measured with the refusal rate of being mobilized using the site's administrative data and a file audit that will include a form developed for this purpose. | 3 months |
| Number of days between admission and the development of a mobilization plan, between admission and first mobilization and number of patients with at least 3 mobilizations per day per week. |

The research assistant will de-identify the participants by generating a random code using a statistical method. The research team will extract and transfer the data using a password-protected Excel spreadsheet where modification is traceable. The private information (participant personal information, i.e., name, birth date) will be coded (unique code for each participant).
The data capturing, coding, and analysis will be conducted on a password-protected computer at Constance Lethbridge Rehabilitation center connected to a secured server.
Data, informed consent forms, and questionnaires completed by patients and health care professionals will be stored at the Constance Lethbridge Rehabilitation Center on the institution's secure server by the researcher in charge of the study for ten years after the end of the project after which they will be permanently destroyed.
A research assistant and a statistician will analyze and code the de-identified research data under the supervision of Sara Ahmed and Diana Zidarov, the two principal investigators. These people will have access to the data for analytical purposes.

The proposed project will follow the steps of the Knowledge-to-Action framework (KTA) [7]. The KTA is a process model that provides practical guidance in planning and implementing research evidence into practice [8]. It is comprised of a Knowledge Creation Funnel and an Action Cycle. Our project will follow the steps of the Action Cycle from adapting to the local context through evaluating outcomes with a concern for sustaining knowledge use.
