| Abstract |
Purpose/Aims: Evidence-based practice demonstrates that mechanically ventilated patients; should be mobilizing. This project aims to increase mobilization rates of mechanically ventilated; patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the Western United States to at least fifty percent of; clinically appropriate patients. The goal is also to improve registered nurses' (RNs) attitudes; toward and confidence in mobilizing these patients.; Rationale/Background: Early mobilization while mechanically ventilated has decreased the; length of stay, ventilator days, and ICU delirium (Escalon, 2020; Marra et al., 2017). Literature; suggests that providing nursing education specific to the early mobilization of mechanically; ventilated patients may improve RNs' attitudes and confidence, increasing mobilization rates; (Dagnachew et al., 2023; Dubb et al., 2016; Kim et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2022).; Methods: A multi-faceted educational approach will provide RNs in an ICU with adequate; training and resources to safely mobilize mechanically ventilated patients. The Iowa Model will; serve as a framework for guiding this project through an ethically sound and successful; implementation with sustainable results.; Results: At the end of implementation, it is anticipated that RNs' attitudes and confidence; toward mobilizing mechanically ventilated patients will improve. Similarly, mobilization rates; for these patients will increase to at or above fifty percent.; Conclusions: Mechanically ventilated patients should be mobilizing when clinically appropriate.; By providing adequate education, ICU RNs may have a more positive outlook toward mobilizing; mechanically ventilated patients and feel confident doing so. Likewise, the mobilization rates of; this population will increase. |
