This project aims to raise awareness of deconditioning and identify barriers to patient mobility among hospital staff.
Conducted a quality improvement project on a geriatric ward.
Collected quantitative data on patient mobilization activities.
Obtained qualitative feedback through interviews with nursing staff.
Delivered teaching sessions to staff over two weeks before re-evaluating outcomes.

50% of patients sat up for meals initially; this dropped to 48% later.
42% wore appropriate footwear initially, decreasing to 40% after education.
Only 26% wore their own clothes initially, which increased to 36% afterward.
Identified barriers included patient factors, equipment shortages, and staffing pressures.
