Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to investigate the effect of early initiated and supervised mobilization continued after discharge as management of postoperative pain and recovery following obesity surgery, including patient experiences, pain coping, physical functionality and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study aims;

1. To investigate the effect of mobilization as pain management following obesity surgery.
2. To investigate patient experiences with mobilization and postoperative pain, including the influence of mobilization on patients' ability to cope with pain and an identification of facilitating factors and barriers towards early mobilization.
3. To assess the effect of mobilization on postoperative recovery, including the general physical activity level, physical function, and quality of life among patients discharged after obesity surgery.

The PhD study consists of two sub-studies. Study 1: Effect of early mobilization as pain management in patients recovering from obesity surgery. The study is a single center randomized controlled trial (RCT). Participants will be randomized with an allocation ratio of 1:1.

Study 2: Patient experiences with early mobilization and postoperative pain after surgery - An interview study Patients participating in both interventions (group A), will be invited to participate in two individual semi structured interviews.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The patients will be randomized into the intervention or control group. To assess the effect of the two interventions separately and independent of each other and to avoid inequality at the starting point of intervention 1 and 2, the patients will at the starting point be randomized into four different groups: A) Intervention 1/Intervention 2, B) Intervention 1/Control 2, C) Control 1/ Intervention 2 D) Control 1/Control 2 (Figure 1). This procedure will enable evaluation of one intervention group versus one control group who are different at each time point.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A

Participates in intervention 1 and 2

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention 1: Mobilization during hospitalization

Intervention Type OTHER

Surgical ICU Optimal Mobilization Score (SOMS) will be used to initiate early mobilization. SOMS consists of five levels of mobilization reaching from no activity to ambulation. Thirty minutes after PACU-arrival, the patient will be asked to do lower leg exercises. If this is possible, the patient will advance to the next level of mobilization. If not possible, level zero is recorded and the patient rests for another 30 minutes before attempting level one again. This continues until the patient succeeds with level four. Safety criteria for advancing to the next level of mobilization are based on criteria for mobilizing patients in the ICU. The intervention group will receive standard care with additional supervised mobilization while hospitalized. This mobilization consist of walking 1000 steps on postoperative day (POD) 0 and 500 steps on POD1 before discharge. Step counts are measured using pedometers.

Intervention 2: Mobilization the first 4 postoperative weeks

Intervention Type OTHER

Intervention 2 will start the first weekday after discharge and continue for 4 weeks. Four supervised physical activity sessions and 8 sessions using telerehabilitation. The activities are low-intensity exercises (walking and lightly strength training using resistance bands) with progressed intensity throughout the weeks. The exercises will be individually progressed to meet the participant's level of activity, as it is important the participants benefit as much as possible from the intervention. The participants will receive information about different possibilities for leisure activities, for motivation to continue physical activity after the first 4 weeks.

Control group

Intervention Type OTHER

The control group receives standard care.

Patients are mobilized to sit at the bedside before being transferred to the surgical ward. However, it is not used as prophylactic pain management nor is there a structured evidence based protocol with regard to mobilization. The control group will also be equipped with pedometers. They are encouraged to mobilize, and they receive a form in which they can write down mobilization for each hour. There is no planned supervised mobilization. As patients in the control group are assigned to standard care, they will not receive any supervised physical activity after discharge.
