- W2034172074 abstract "A blood and marrow transplant (BMT) unit at a comprehensive cancer center is piloting an exercise program for inpatients. BMT patients suffer from fatigue, rapid deconditioning, and profound anemia, and often report a sense of isolation and helplessness. Falls with injury are all too frequent. Recent studies have reported that BMT patients who exercise during hospitalization experience less fatigue, fewer blood transfusions, decreased length of stay, and improved well-being. Studies of other populations have shown significant reductions in fall risk resulting from exercise. The planned exercise program can improve patient outcomes by promoting physical mobility, maintaining conditioning, and providing social interaction with other patients sharing the same challenges. Interest in the program was assessed by surveying inpatients regarding their desire to participate in an exercise class. Results indicated that over half would participate if the class were offered. The following steps are planned for implementation and evaluation of the program over a 4 month period. 1) Flyers posted at the nursing station will remind nurses and unit secretaries to ensure a Physical Therapy (PT) consult is ordered for every admission. 2) PT will see each new admission within 48 hours for initial assessment and exercise planning. 3) A 15 minute group exercise class will be offered twice weekly, led by PT or trained RN. 4) Staff nurses will be encouraged to ensure patient compliance with the plan and remind them to attend the group exercise class. 5) Participation in the class and other exercise activities will be charted and monitored. 6) Patient satisfaction with their physical condition and sense of well-being will be reassessed using a brief questionnaire at discharge to permit comparison of participants and non-participants. The initial findings will serve as a basis for planning a case/control study of exercise and overall outcomes including fall rates, length of stay and use of blood products. A successful program will generate benefits to both patients and society due to improved outcomes and lower costs of care." @default.
