Early mobilization implementation for critical ill patients: A cross-sectional multi-center survey about knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of critical care nurses.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo explore critical care clinicians' knowledge, attitudes and perceptions toward early mobilization of critically ill patients in ICUs.
designA cross-sectional national survey was conducted. From January to August 2020, ICU nurses in 11 hospitals were surveyed by using a questionnaire on the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of ICU early mobilization.
resultsTotally 512 nurses completed the questionnaire. The respondents' mean score for knowledge of early mobilization was 6.89 ± 2.91. The level of knowledge was good in 2.5% (13/512), fair in 52.3% (268/512). The attitudes toward early mobilization were positive in 31.4% (161/512). In terms of perceived implementation of ICU early mobilization, 42.9% (220/512) of nurses did not believe that this should be a top priority in intensive care. The attitudes of nurses from different ICUs were significantly different (
conclusionsThe importance of early ICU early mobilization is increasingly recognized by critical care providers. However, there is still a gap in the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of ICU early mobilization among nurses. In future studies, it is necessary to further systematically identify the reasons leading to the gaps in these aspects and implement targeted interventions around these gaps. Meanwhile, more nurses should be encouraged to participate in decision-making to ensure the efficient and quality implementation of ICU early mobilization practices.
