Background: Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) consists of ergonomic techniques and equipment to move patients who cannot move independently. SPHM helps minimize adverse events (pressure ulcers, falls), and staff injuries. Despite benefits, we know little about how patients experience assisted mobility. With valid and reliable scales, we can measure patient experiences, thus facilitating improved care, more tailored evaluation, and more targeted clinical staff education. Patients in rehabilitation are an ideal group to study. Specific aims: We will develop a valid and reliable self-report survey based upon patients' experiences of assisted mobility: the (PEAM). We have three aims. First, the analysis of qualitative interview data will identify and describe important concepts of patients' experiences. Scales and items will be generated from the interviews. The items will be reviewed by patients and subject experts, assuring content validity. Second, the PEAM will be fielded and the data analyzed to provide support for reliability and construct validity. Third, we will examine the statistical relation between PEAM and associated outcomes to establish criterion validity. Significance: Patient experiences of care are one of the pillars of health care quality. Yet, no measures assess patients' perceptions of assisted mobility. The VA national directive for SPHM mandates program evaluation, yet the Voice of the Veteran is not part of the assessment. The sheer number of rehabilitation unit Veterans calls for their input. The PEAM will provide a valid and reliable measure to address this gap. PEAM will allow identification of best practices, areas in need of improvement, and clinical staff educational priorities. Priority domain: Our study addresses the HSR&D priority of patient-centered care and care management. We examine how methods of care delivery can influence Veterans' experiences and relevant outcomes. Innovation: PEAM will be the first reliable and validated patient-report survey of assisted mobility experiences. Methodology: For Aim 1, we will conduct telephone interviews with 60 Veterans discharged from inpatient rehabilitation units including: SCI, acute rehabilitation, short-stay nursing homes, and polytrauma. We will interview 30 staff at two medical centers about their experiences with SPHM. Our conceptual model and interview questions consist of patient, provider, equipment, environment, and task concepts. We will apply thematic analysis to data to develop and refine constructs. An expert panel will evaluate item fit to constructs. We will interview up to 15 Veterans to ensure items are understood as intended. For Aim 2, we will test the instrument with a sample of Veterans (n=800). Item response theory and confirmatory factor analysis will identify the best performing items. We will assess construct validity between the PEAM and other validated measures. For Aim 3, we will assess criterion validity through field-based observational assessments and surveys of Veterans (n=3500) at more than 20 facilities. We will model the relation between patient and unit characteristics with PEAM. We will also examine patient and unit-level outcomes to establish criterion validity. Expected results: Our resultant instrument will provide a unique measure of assisted mobility for this understudied population and assess an important, yet understudied, aspect of the care recovery process. Next steps: VA operational partners – including SCI/D and SPHM – will be provided with findings, insights, and recommendations that can support evaluation from their directives. PEAM use in evaluation programs nation-wide can be planned. Enriched evaluation using the PEAM by program offices could lead to changes in policies, staff education, equipment, and improved care. Through individual feedback to facilities in Aim 3, performance improvement efforts can be tailored around specific findings. We will work with program offices to develop and implement tablet-based data collection methods. With a validated instrument, we can also include the PEAM in surveys that VA regularly administers to assess patient experiences of rehabilitation care. Work can also adapt the instrument for bariatric patient handling and long-term care priority areas.

背景：安全患者处理和移动（SPHM）包括人体工程学技术和设备， 移动不能独立移动的患者。SPHM有助于最大限度地减少不良事件（压疮、福尔斯）， 和工作人员受伤。尽管有好处，我们对患者如何体验辅助移动知之甚少。凭有效 和可靠的尺度，我们可以衡量病人的经验，从而促进改善护理，更有针对性， 评估和更有针对性的临床工作人员教育。康复患者是一个理想的研究对象。 具体目标：我们将根据患者的经验， 辅助移动性（PEAM）。我们有三个目标。首先，定性访谈数据的分析将确定 并描述患者体验的重要概念。量表和项目将从 采访这些项目将由患者和学科专家审查，以确保内容的有效性。二是 PEAM将被派往现场，并对数据进行分析，以提供可靠性和结构效度的支持。三是 检查PEAM和相关结果之间的统计关系，以建立标准效度。 重要性：患者的护理体验是医疗保健质量的支柱之一。然而，没有措施 评估患者对辅助移动的感知。弗吉尼亚州国家SPHM指令要求计划 评估，但退伍军人的声音不是评估的一部分。康复单位的数量 退伍军人呼吁他们的投入。PEAM将提供有效和可靠的措施来解决这一差距。PEAM 将允许识别最佳实践，需要改进的领域和临床工作人员的教育优先事项。 优先领域：我们的研究解决了以病人为中心的护理和护理管理的HSR&D优先事项。我们 研究护理提供方法如何影响退伍军人的经验和相关结果。 创新：PEAM将是第一个可靠和有效的辅助移动体验的患者报告调查。 方法：对于目标1，我们将对60名退伍军人进行电话采访， 康复单位包括：SCI、急性康复、短期疗养院和多发性创伤。我们将 采访了两个医疗中心的30名工作人员，了解他们使用SPHM的经历。我们的概念模型和 访谈问题包括患者、提供者、设备、环境和任务概念。我们将应用 对数据进行专题分析，以发展和完善结构。专家小组将评估项目与结构的匹配性。 我们将采访多达15名退伍军人，以确保项目被理解为预期的。对于目标2，我们将测试 仪器与退伍军人样本（n=800）。项目反应理论和验证性因素分析将 找出性能最佳的项目。我们将评估PEAM和其他已验证的 措施对于目标3，我们将通过基于现场的观察评估来评估标准有效性， 对20多家机构的退伍军人（n=3500）进行调查。我们将模拟病人和单位之间的关系 PEAM的特点。我们还将检查患者和单位水平的结果，以建立标准有效性。 预期结果：我们的结果仪器将提供一个独特的措施，协助流动性，这 研究不足的人群，并评估一个重要的，但研究不足，方面的护理恢复过程。 下一步：VA业务合作伙伴-包括SCI/D和SPHM -将提供调查结果，见解， 和建议，可以支持他们的指示评价。PEAM在评估计划中的应用 全国范围内都可以规划。各计划办事处使用PEAM进行的丰富的评估可能会导致以下方面的变化 政策、员工教育、设备和改善护理。通过对目标3设施的个人反馈， 可以围绕具体的调查结果来调整改进业绩的努力。我们将与项目办公室合作， 开发和实施基于平板电脑的数据收集方法。使用经过验证的仪器，我们还可以包括 PEAM在调查中，VA定期管理，以评估患者的康复护理经验。工作 还可以使仪器适应肥胖症患者处理和长期护理优先领域。
