Behavioural factors influencing patient participation in rehabilitation on critical care
Developing a behaviour change intervention to increase the number of patients taking part in rehabilitation on critical care wards

3 July 2024
Exercise and early movement can help patients to recover during critical illness; however, the number of patients taking part in rehabilitation on critical care wards in the UK remains low. This PhD aims to explore the rehabilitation experiences of patients, their relatives/carers and healthcare professionals, including barriers and enablers to engaging in rehabilitation. These findings will be used to develop a behaviour change intervention to increase engagement in rehabilitation on critical care.
