About this trial
This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led early mobilization protocol on postoperative recovery outcomes in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. The outcomes assessed include walking distance, mobility levels, gastrointestinal function (time to first flatus and first defecation), nausea, vomiting, comfort, fatigue, time to initiation of oral intake, patient satisfaction, incidence of postoperative complications, and length of hospital stay.
Research Question:
In patients undergoing colorectal surgery (P), does a nurse-led early mobilization protocol (I), compared with standard mobilization practices (C), improve postoperative recovery outcomes (O), including walking distance, mobility levels, gastrointestinal function (time to first flatus and first defecation), nausea, vomiting, comfort, fatigue, time to initiation of oral intake, patient satisfaction, postoperative complication rates, and length of hospital stay?
