This study evaluates how organizational factors—unit workload and staff attitudes—affect daily mobility during hospitalization. Data from 610 cognitively intact, ambulatory older adults across 20 units in four Israeli hospitals were analyzed using mixed models, with workload measured via staffing and turnover indicators and attitudes assessed by the Barriers to Early Mobility questionnaire.

Conversely, older age (β = -0.06, p =0.002) and higher acute illness severity (β = -0.211, p=0.0012) predicted lower mobility. Notably, workload factors were not significantly associated with daily mobility. Findings highlight the critical role of staff attitudes in preserving mobility during hospitalization. Promoting a mobility-supportive hospital culture may be key to improving outcomes for older adults.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.2194  \nTHE HUMAN FACTOR: HOW STAFF ATTITUDES  \nSHAPE MOBILITY IN HOSPITALIZED OLDER ADULTS  \nAnna Zisberg, Ksenya Shulyaev, Nurit Gur-Yaish, Juliana Smichenko, and Efrat Shadmi, University of Haifa, Haifa, HaZafon, Israel  \nIn-hospital mobility is crucial for older adults’ recovery, post-hospital function, and quality of life. While patient characteristics influence mobility, the impact of organizational factors, specifically unit workload and staff attitudes, remains underexplored. This study examined their effects on mobility among hospitalized older adults. We analyzed mobility data from 610 cognitively intact, ambulatory older adults (mean age 77.6±6.8, 54.1% male) across 20 units in four Israeli hospitals. Mobility was self-reported daily (up to 7 days) using the Mobility Rating (MR) . Unit workload was assessed via nurse-to-patient ratio, patient turnover, and ventilated patient count. Staff attitudes (nurses, nursing assistants, physical therapists, and physicians) were measured using the Barriers to Early Mobility questionnaire. Covariates included age, pre-hospital ADL, cognitive status (MMSE), and acute illness severity (NEWS) .
