- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method For the primary focus of feasibility the recruitment rate, retention, adherence, safety and acceptance are evaluated. Recruitment will be monitored to determine how many patients per group and week meet the inclusion criteria and can be enrolled in the study. The percentage of participants between the first measurement and the completion of the second measurement will be compared to assess retention and dropout. Adherence to the intervention is defined as the percentage of the total hospital stay during which the accelerometer was worn. The safety aspect of the intervention is determined by the number of adverse events. Adverse events are defined as the number of falls recorded for both groups. In addition, all discontinuations due to feelings of insecurity are noted to capture acceptability.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The effects of using a combination of BCTs will be determined using the following outcome measures: the recording of light, moderate and heavy physical activity by an accelerometer and the assessment of mobility by the De Morton Mobility Index. This will be collected before randomisation and again before participants are discharged.
