Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
To summarize, patients will be assessed at least 3 times, 4 if your hospital stay is longer than 30 days. The first and second assessments will be in the hospital, and the third will be 4-6 weeks after discharge at you home (or where is appropriate). Additionally, patients will be asked to wear an activity watch between the first and second assessment.
The study will also explore patients experiences of their hospital stay and opinions on deconditioning, including the views and opinions of hospital staff. This information will be gathered by having interviews with a sample of the patients who took part in the questionnaires and tests and by having interviews with hospital staff. The interview will be conducted by the main researcher, Thomas Cartledge, and will take place either over the phone, online or in-person, depending on your preference. The interviews will be audio and/or video recorded, however the recordings will be deleted immediately once transcription is completed. The duration of the interview will last approximately 30-60 mins.
