Barriers and facilitators to timely and early mobilization of critically ill adult patients in intensive care units: A scoping review

This scoping review aims to systematically map and summarize the existing scientific literature on limiting and facilitating factors involved in initiating timely and early mobilization in critically ill adult patients in intensive care units. Guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and reported according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines, this review will include primary studies and relevant systematic or scoping reviews without restrictions on language, year of publication , or geographic setting. The findings will guide the design of future primary research and the development of implementation strategies tailored to diverse ICU contexts.
