INTRODUCTION: Hospitalisation represents a significant risk factor for the decline in the general conditions of the elderly. Loss of autonomy in elderly inpatients, together with immobilisation, has been defined as 'Hospital-Acquired Disability' and affects 65% of this class of patients. Less than half of them will regain independent mobilisation. Included among the negative effects are: falls, increased percentage of admission to nursing homes, longer hospital admissions, increased mortality and morbitity. Despite these facts, elderly patients remain in bed for 83-95% of their hospital stay; they rarely walk or are mobilised. Only on an international level has this issue been analysed OBJECTIVES: To analyse active mobilisation in inpatients. METHODS: Prospective analytical and descriptive study performed from December 2018 - May 2019 in the Clinical Medicine department of the AUSL of Reggio Emilia. Descriptive analysis of the data has been performed. RESULTS: A total of 1725 patients were screened for the study. After applying the inclusion criteria, 295 patients were enrolled in the study, 9 of which were then excluded for failure to be mobilised. 66.4% of these patients were mobilized the morning during hygiene-rounds. According to the nurse, they appeared in a stable state, alert and oriented (88.1%) and used a variety of aids (from 1 to 3) (57.3%). The frequency of mobilisations were: 44.4% once a day, 31.2% twice, 24.4% three times or more. DISCUSSION: This study highlighted that mobilisation is strictly correlated to first assistance, frequently relying on health care assistants, and is mostly applied to oriented patients who only need one assistant. Further studies are required to investigate connections between patient's features and mobilisation.

INTRODUZIONE: L’ospedalizzazione rappresenta un fattore di rischio per il declino delle condizioni generali dell’anziano. La perdita di autonomia dei pazienti anziani ricoverati, associata alla mancata mobilizzazione, è stata definita come una Disabilità Acquisita in Ospedale e colpisce fino al 65% di essi. Meno della metà degli anziani recuperano la mobilizzazione indipendente. Tra gli esiti negativi associati abbiamo: cadute, aumento delle istituzionalizzazioni e dei tempi di degenza, aumentata mortalità, sviluppo di complicanze. Nonostante ciò, gli anziani rimangono allettati per il 83-95% della degenza, solo raramente deambulano o vengono mobilizzati. Solo a livello internazionale è stata indagata questa problematica. OBIETTIVO: Descrivere la mobilizzazione attiva dei pazienti internistici. METODI: Studio analitico descrittivo prospettico. Dicembre 2018 - Maggio 2019. Sono stati inclusi i reparti internistici dell’AUSL di Reggio Emilia. È stata eseguita un’analisi descrittiva dei dati. RISULTATI: Sono stati screenati 1725 pazienti, applicando i criteri d’inclusione reclutati 295, di cui 9 esclusi perché non mobilizzabili. Il 66,4% dei pazienti viene mobilizzato al mattino durante l’igiene. Essi sono in condizioni stabili secondo l’infermiere, lucidi ed orientati (88,1%) e portatori di vari presidi (da 1 a 3) (57,3%). La frequenza di mobilizzazione è di: una volta al giorno per il 44,4% dei pazienti, due volte al giorno per il 31,2% e più di due volte al giorno per il 24,4%. DISCUSSIONE: Lo studio ha evidenziato che la mobilizzazione è strettamente associata all’assistenza di base, nella quale ha un ruolo rilevante l’OSS. Essa riguarda prevalentemente pazienti lucidi orientati e che richiedono un solo operatore. Sarebbero auspicabili studi successivi per indagare correlazioni fra caratteristiche dei pazienti e mobilizzazione.
