For cardiac surgery (CS) patients, mobilization within the first 24 hours post-operatively supports
improved physical health outcomes. Early mobility, whether via ambulation or cycle ergometer, is safe for CS patients in the intensive care
unit (ICU), with studies reporting minimal adverse events and hemodynamic stability with mobilization 12 hours postoperatively. Both the ICU Liberation Bundle and the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) CS guidelines advocate for the early mobility of patients
in the ICU. Despite being safe and recommended, knowledge gaps concerning modality effectiveness among early mobility interventions and the definition of what early means, underlie the current lack of integration of early mobility into CS ICU clinical care.
Guided by a pragmatist worldview, this doctoral thesis aims to develop early mobility interventions informed by patients with life experience (PWLE), clinicians, and the literature and to test the feasibility of the interventions through four studies. First,
a scoping review of published early mobility interventions to map the CS ICU early mobility literature to understand the early mobility interventions used in studies of various designs will be completed. Next, an observational study using behaviour mapping
to gain an understanding of the current state of early mobility in the CS ICU will occur. The development of early mobility interventions informed by PWLE, clinicians, and the literature will begin engaging PWLE in body mapping and virtual consultation workshops
to understand their experiences of early mobility, to identify barriers and facilitators to early mobility, and to identify and prioritize patient-reported outcome and experience measures. Focus groups will then occur to delve into clinicians’ perceptions
of barriers and facilitators to early mobility. This knowledge will be integrated with existing literature to develop two early mobility interventions, which will then be refined, and feasibility tested. Overall, this research aims to generate high-quality,
lived experience-informed evidence to support the future efficacy evaluation of early mobility interventions following CS to reduce the incidence of CS PICS.

The Clinical Chair Program, supported by the Health Sciences Centre, University of Manitoba College of Nursing, and the Health Sciences Centre Foundation, aims to foster clinically relevant
research partnerships, networks and synergies fueling nursing research and clinical innovation, enhancing knowledge translation, and supporting improved patient outcomes. The goal of this free monthly virtual speaker series is the creation of a space for
clinicians, researchers, scholars, and students to share knowledge, expertise, insights, and questions to spark ideas and connection to strengthen nursing research and practice, building a strong nursing community across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwestern
Ontario, and beyond!
