Abstract
Early Mobilization (EM) in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) is safe and feasible, but there are issues preventing the adoption of EM into clinical practice. The objective of this study was to describe the patient safety concerns and how nurses develop strategies to safely deliver EM to their patients. The second objective was to explore, describe and analyze nurses' perceptions of barriers and facilitators to performing EM, and to identify strategies nurses perceive would assist them to overcome barriers and increase adoption of EM within the PICU. This focused ethnographic study included 15 in-depth interviews with 10 PICU nurses. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
