Healthcare professionals feel empowered by implementing a hospital-based multifaceted intervention: a qualitative study using inductive thematic analysis. BMC Health Serv Res 2022; 22:903. [PMID: 35820839 PMCID: PMC9277783 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-022-08310-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Most patients are insufficiently physically active during their hospital stay, and this is associated with poor health and delayed recovery. Hospital-based multifaceted interventions aim to encourage patients to engage in physical activity. Ban Bedcentricity is one such intervention. Its value – and that of others similar to it – for healthcare professionals has not been studied yet. Whether an intervention looks and feels right, and whether it does the job well, is important for healthcare professionals and thus its use. Understanding value for healthcare professionals seems crucial for the long-term adoption and implementation of interventions. Therefore, we studied healthcare professionals’ perceptions of value in terms of the implementation of a multifaceted intervention that aimed at improving physically active behaviour in patients during their hospital stay. Methods Using Ban Bedcentricity as a case study to focus on healthcare professionals’ perceptions about multifaceted interventions, we conducted a qualitative study between November 2019 and September 2020. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposefully selected physicians, physiotherapists, and nurses (assistants) until theoretical data saturation was reached. Inductive thematic analysis was used to identify key themes and develop a conceptual model. Results We interviewed 15 healthcare professionals and formulated six key themes from these interviews. The participants said that Ban Bedcentricity empowered them in their beliefs about the importance of physical activity for hospitalized patients (theme 1). They also indicated that it made them more aware of the value of physical activity (theme 2) and skilled to promote physical activity as part of their professional role (theme 3). Similarly, they noted that it enabled them to shift from providing hands-on support to verbal coaching (theme 4). Other aspects that the participants valued were the increased possibilities for teamwork (theme 5) and the routinized physical activity promotion in usual care (theme 6). The challenges discussed by the participants were prioritizing activities that promoted physical activity, especially because of a high workload, and avoiding relapses of new routinized work practices related to physical activity promotion if insufficient long-term support and training were provided. Conclusions Our conceptual model shows that the implementation of a hospital-based multifaceted intervention by healthcare professionals empowers their beliefs, and improves their awareness, skills, professional roles, teamwork, and work routinization. These values are typically overlooked, despite potentially being important facilitators for long-term implementation.

Abstract
This manuscript provides the protocol for a National Institute of Aging-funded cluster randomized clinical trial that focuses on helping nurses in acute care to engage patients with dementia in physical activity while hospitalized using an approach referred to as function-focused care. Physical activity is defined as bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles resulting in the expenditure of energy and includes functional tasks such as bathing and dressing, leisure activity, ambulation, and moderate and vigorous intensity physical activity such as dancing, bike riding, or walking upstairs. The development of Function Focused Care for Acute Care (FFC-AC) was based on the Social Ecological Model and Social Cognitive Theory and includes four steps: (1) Environment and Policy Assessments; (2) Education; (3) Establishing Patient Goals; and (4) Mentoring and Motivating of Staff (all levels of nursing staff), Patients, and Families. Function-focused care activities include motivating older patients to participate in bed mobility; personal care activities such as bathing, dressing, ambulating as they are able; and other types of physical activities. The integration of the intervention among the nurses on the units is guided by the Evidence Integration Triangle (EIT), which includes the participation of a stakeholder team and practical outcome measures. The intervention is therefore referred to as FFC-AC-EIT. In addition to describing the protocol developed to test the effectiveness and feasibility of FFC-AC-EIT, a description of ways to overcome some of the barriers and challenges that can be encountered with this study is provided.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for hematopoietic malignancies, complicated by decreased performance status and quality of life. Exercise therapy improves outcomes in HSCT, but several barriers have prevented exercise from becoming routine clinical practice. Based on existing data that wearable technologies facilitate exercise participation in other sedentary and chronic illness populations, we propose the novel hypothesis that wearable technologies are a valuable tool in transcending barriers and developing exercise therapy programs for HSCT patients.

Abstract
QUESTION What are the views of patients, close relatives and healthcare professionals on physical activity behaviour in hospital care? METHODS A meta-ethnographic synthesis of qualitative studies was conducted with a lines-of-argument analysis. The methodological quality of included studies was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist. The lines of argument were synthesised and mapped in an existing theoretical model. The confidence of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation Confidence in Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative Research (GRADE-CERQual) approach. RESULTS Eleven studies were included and provided data from 290 participants (145 patients, 0 close relatives and 145 healthcare professionals). We have synthesised six lines of argument that explained the (intention of) physical activity behaviour of patients during their hospital stay: patients and healthcare professionals perceive benefits and risks of physical activity for patients' health (high confidence); physical activity gives a sense of freedom, confidence in recovery and mental wellbeing (high confidence); all healthcare professionals should offer timely and tailored physical activity promotion (high confidence); patient motivation to be physically active may be contingent upon encouragement (moderate confidence); family members can influence physical activity behaviour favourably or unfavourably (low confidence); and hospital culture has a negative influence on physical activity behaviour of patients (high confidence). CONCLUSIONS Physical activity behaviour of patients during their hospital stay is a complex phenomenon with multiple interactions at the level of patients, healthcare professionals and hospital culture. Considering the results of this synthesis, multifaceted implementation strategies are needed to improve physical activity intention and behaviour of patients during their hospital stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired psychological state, such as anxiety and depressive symptoms, occurs in up to 40% of patients hospitalized for traumatic injury. These symptoms, in the acute period, may delay engagement in activity, such as ambulation, following injury. The purpose of this study was to determine whether baseline anxiety and depressive symptoms predicted delayed (>48 hr from admission) ambulation in patients hospitalized for major traumatic injury. METHODS Adults (n = 19) admitted for major trauma (Injury Severity Score [ISS] = 15) provided a baseline measure of anxiety and depressive symptoms (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS]). Logistic regression was used to determine the predictive power of baseline HADS Anxiety and HADS Depression subscale scores for delayed ambulation while controlling for ISS. RESULTS At baseline, anxiety was present in 32% of patients; 21% reported depressive symptoms. Baseline HADS Anxiety score did not predict the ambulation group. However, for each 1 point increase in baseline HADS Depression score, the likelihood of patients ambulating after 48 hr from admission increased by 67% (odds ratio = 1.67; 95% CI [1.02, 2.72]; p = .041). CONCLUSION Worsening depressive symptoms were associated with delayed ambulation in the acute period following injury. Future, larger scale investigations are needed to further elucidate the relationship between psychological symptoms and the acute recovery period from trauma to better inform clinicians and guide development of interventions to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Aim To investigate how nurses perceive tasks and responsibilities in physical activity promotion of hospitalized older patients and which factors are of influence. Design Mixed methods sequential explanatory design. Methods One hundred and eight nurses participated in a questionnaire survey and 51 nurses in a subsequent in‐depth interview. Data were collected on tasks and responsibilities in physical activity promotion and their influencing factors as perceived by nurses. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a deductive approach with directed content analysis was used for the data from the interviews. Results Nurses perceived to have a dominant role in physical activity promotion of older patients during hospitalization. Ninety per cent of the nurses stated to be responsible for physical activity promotion and 32% stated to be satisfied with the actual level of physical activity of their patients. Nurses have specified to be responsible for signalling and performing physical activity promotion tasks and had final responsibility for transfers from bed to chair and promotion of daily activities. Influencing factors were low patient motivation, high workload causing priority shifts of tasks and the role of physicians.

Abstract
Objective Nursing and allied health professionals (AHPs) are in an ideal position to promote physical activity (PA) as part of their health care provision. The aim of this study was to investigate current promotion and knowledge of PA among people in these disciplines. Methods A cross-sectional online survey of practicing Australian physiotherapists, nurses, exercise physiologists, occupational therapists, dietitians and pharmacists was conducted in 2016. Results A total of 433 nurses and AHPs completed the survey. All disciplines agreed that providing PA advice was part of their role, although nurses were less likely to agree. All disciplines felt they had the skills to promote PA but nurses were more likely to report a lack of time as a barrier. Physiotherapists and exercise physiologists were more confident giving PA advice to patients. Most health professionals (68%) were aware of the PA guidelines, although only 16% were accurately able to describe all relevant components. In logistic regression modelling, women and those working in public hospitals were less likely to encourage PA. Awareness of the PA guidelines doubled the odds of encouraging PA in patients (odds ratio 2.01, 95% confidence interval 1.18-3.43). Conclusions Australian nurses and AHPs perceive that PA promotion is part of their role, however few have specific knowledge of the PA guidelines. To increase PA promotion by nurses and AHPs awareness of the PA guidelines appears to be essential. What is known about the topic? Nurses and AHPs are in an ideal position to promote PA, although there is limited evidence of their PA promotion and knowledge. What does the paper add? Australian nurses and AHPs are confident and think it is feasible to promote PA to patients in several healthcare settings but many lack sufficient PA knowledge, limiting their PA promotion. What are the implications for practitioners? Increasing PA knowledge of nurses and AHPs could generate increased levels of PA in the Australian population and improve national health and wellbeing.

Abstract
Physical activity, defined as bodily movement that expends energy including such things as bed mobility, transfers, bathing, dressing, and walking, has a positive impact on physical and psychosocial outcomes among older adults during their hospitalization and the post hospitalization recovery period. Despite benefits, physical activity is not the focus of care in the acute care setting. Further there are many barriers to engaging patients in physical activity and fall prevention activities including patient, family and provider beliefs, environmental challenges and limitations, hospital policies, and medical and nursing interventions. This paper provides an overview of falls and physical activity prevalence among acute care patients, challenges to engaging patients in physical activity and falls prevention activities and innovative approaches to increase physical activity and prevent falls among older hospitalized patients.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma is an invariably fatal cancer of plasma cells. Despite tremendous advances in treatment, this malignancy remains incurable in most individuals. We postulate that strategies aimed at prevention have the potential to be more effective in preventing myeloma-related death than additional pharmaceutical strategies aimed at treating advanced disease. Here, we present a rationale for the development of prevention therapy and highlight potential target areas of study.
