Brief Summary

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

Conditions

Surgery

Keywords

postoperative care; Mobilization; Surgical Nursing

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (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.
