Increasing Physical Activity Among Medical Inpatients by Digital Nudging of Patients and Staff (NCT06983977)
Increasing Physical Activity Among Medical Inpatients by Digital Nudging of Patients and Staff - A Cluster Randomised Multicentre Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Sedentary behaviour among medical inpatients is strongly associated with hospital-associated functional decline and poses a severe threat to patients' functional capacity and independency. High human and socioeconomic costs underline the urgency to find solutions to this world-wide problem. Objective: This multicentre study, including a total of 400 patients from Copenhagen, Aalborg, Tórshavn, and Nuuk, will assess the effect of a digital intervention that aims to reduce sedentary behaviour and increase physical activity in medical inpatients. Intervention: Digital feedback and nudging regarding the patients' physical activity levels to patients and healthcare staff Design: Stepped-wedge cluster randomised multicentre trial Primary outcome: Daily average time of patients' physical activity (minutes).
