About

Hospitalization creates opportunities for older adults to accumulate prolonged periods of sitting and lying (defined as sedentary behavior) which can result in mobility loss. We propose a Type 1 Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial with 1:1 randomization to test the effect of a caregiver intervention on older patients' physical activity at 3 months (home). We will recruit 61 patients and family caregivers from hospital units and follow them for 3 months; the primary outcome is patients' daily step count at 3 months.
