Clinical and systems of care factors contributing to individual patient decision-making for early mobilization post-stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Many stroke guidelines recommend against starting intensive out-of-bed activity (mobilization) within 24 h post-stroke. Few guidelines address care after the first 24-48 h, and little information is provided about how early mobilization decisions should be tailored to patients. We aimed to identify clinical and systems of care factors contributing to individual patient decision-making for early mobilization post-stroke.

Methods

Expert stroke clinicians were recruited to participate in an interactive one-on-one session that included an introductory semi-structured interview followed by an assisted data exploration session using an early mobilization data visualization tool.

Results

Thirty expert stroke clinicians with a median (interquartile range) 14 (10-
