I recently had major surgery and the hospital I stayed in in the UK absolutely encouraged both getting out of bed and sitting in a chair as well as dressing in your normal clothes as soon as possible. Even though I was in ITU the day after surgery and couldn't even sit myself up, they still got me up with support, moved the bed out from behind me and sat me in a chair for a few hours. A week later when I was on a normal ward they encouraged you to get dressed and had posters up around the ward suggesting it.
