Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Mobility Studies
  • Concept Development

Background:

  • Current literature primarily focuses on immobility, neglecting the concept of mobility in nursing.
  • A need exists to clarify and refine the concept of mobility for practical nursing application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the concept of mobility from both client and nurse perspectives.
  • To clarify, refine, and develop the concept of mobility for nursing practice.
  • To assess the congruency between theoretical formulations and empirical data regarding mobility.

Main Methods:

  • A two-phase study: theoretical and fieldwork.
  • Content analysis of interviews with primary nurses.
  • Comparison of derived themes with theoretical phase results.

Main Results:

  • Nurse interviews provided partial support for the theoretically defined concept of mobility.
  • Identified a need for more empirical investigation across various client populations and settings.

Conclusions:

  • The concept of mobility requires further empirical validation within nursing.
  • Future research should involve diverse patient groups and healthcare environments to enhance conceptual clarity.
