What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Acute Rehabilitation (Observed Practice)Other
This study does not assign any interventions. It observes routine clinical practices of acute rehabilitation provided to children in pediatric intensive care units as part of standard care.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Children in Pediatric Intensive Care Units | Children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) who are assessed for the prevalence of acute rehabilitation practices during critical care. Receives: Other: Acute Rehabilitation (Observed Practice) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of Participants Who Received Acute Rehabilitation
Prevalence is defined as the proportion of eligible children in the pediatric intensive care unit who received at least one session of physical therapy or occupational therapy within the 24 hours preceding each study assessment point.
Measured: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Secondary outcomes (5)
Number of Acute Rehabilitation Sessions per Participant
The number of physical therapy or occupational therapy sessions delivered to eligible children within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point.
Measured: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Number of Participants by Type of Rehabilitation Intervention
The types of rehabilitation interventions delivered within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point, including passive exercise, active exercise, positioning, mobility training, and occupational therapy interventions.
Measured: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Proportion of sessions Involving Assistive Devices
The proportion of rehabilitation sessions involving assistive devices or equipment during the 24 hours preceding each assessment point.
Measured: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Number of Sessions by Delivery Method
The types of rehabilitation delivery methods used within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point, including bedside therapy, in-room mobilization, and therapist-assisted mobility interventions.
Measured: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Odds Ratios for Factors Associated With Absence of Acute Rehabilitation
Multivariable logistic regression analysis will be performed to evaluate clinical and organizational factors associated with the absence of acute rehabilitation delivery among eligible children in the pediatric intensive care unit. Predictor variables will include patient demographics, severity of illness, sedation status, mechanical ventilation, restraint use, ICU structure, rehabilitation protocols, and staffing resources.
Measured: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
