Early Mobility Practice in Selected Ministry of Health Intensive Care Units in Sarawak: Perceived Barriers and Facilitators of Early Mobility Protocol Adherence among Nurses
Early Mobility (EM) of patient during ICU stay is essential to enhance short-term functional outcomes, shorten duration on mechanical ventilation and hospital length of stay. Mobilising ICU patients remains a challenge evidenced by poor adoption of EM practice in ICU. Therefore, this study aimed to...

The greatest barrier to EM protocol adherence was behaviour-related barriers, which included inadequate staff (72.3%), and unavailability of necessarily equipment (70.3%); followed by attitude-related barriers, which comprised concern of health care provider’s safety (50.9%), and patient’s safety (50.3%).

Early Mobility (EM) of patient during ICU stay is essential to enhance short-term functional outcomes, shorten duration on mechanical ventilation and hospital length of stay. Mobilising ICU patients remains a challenge evidenced by poor adoption of EM practice in ICU. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of EM practice, adherence rate of EM protocol, perceived barriers to and facilitators of EM protocol adherence at the five government hospitals in Sarawak.
