Physical functioning, measured with the AM-PAC basic mobility (AM-PAC)
Background summary
Undergoing oncological surgery is a major life event and can impact patients’ physical functioning. For a patient, it is important to return to normal physical functioning in daily life as soon as possible after discharge. In older people, lower levels of physical activity during hospitalization are associated with the development of hospital associated disabilities, death and lower levels of physical functioning. Nevertheless, literature shows that patients are less than 6% of the day active during hospitalization. Literature suggests that objectively monitoring of physical activity might be beneficial to enhance physical activity levels during hospitalization. Therefore, the aim om this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of an activity tracker in usual care on physical activity level and recovery of physical functioning after oncological surgery. This will be evaluated in 3 groups,; group 1: historigal control group, without feedback of the activity tracker, group 2: feedback of the activity tracker to healthcare providers en patients, group 3: setting goals
Study objective
The implementation of an activity tracker in usual care leads to an increased level of physical activity and recovery of physical functioning after discharge
Study design
during hospitalization and 1 and 3 months after discharge
Intervention
Activity tracker with feedback
