Objective: To synthesize the evidence examining caregiver-mediated mobility interventions in a hospital setting and whether they improve patient, caregiver, or health system outcomes.
Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus databases from inception to September 7, 2018.
Study Selection: Two reviewers independently selected original research in inpatient settings that reported on an intervention delivered by a caregiver (eg, family, friend, paid worker) and directed to the patient's mobility.
Context: Alternative pain management interventions involving caregivers may be valuable adjuncts to conventional pain management interventions.
Objectives: Use systematic review methodology to examine caregiver-facilitated pain management interventions in a hospital setting and whether they improve patient, caregiver, provider, or health system outcomes.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus databases from inception to April 2020.
