Description
Older patients often stay in bed during hospital stays, and family caregivers at the bedside can sway whether they get moving. Shulyaev and co-authors compare how caregivers from different cultural groups in Israel view in-hospital mobility for their older relatives.
The study covered 156 patient-caregiver pairs: Israeli Arabs, immigrants from the former USSR, and veteran Israeli Jews. Caregivers in all groups leaned positive toward mobility, but scores differed. Arab caregivers scored lowest, at 3.48 on a five-point scale, against 3.69 and 3.82 for the other groups, and the gap held after adjusting for patient health and function. The authors urge care teams to address cultural views that may keep older patients in bed.
