Preoperative prehabilitation in adults: A concept analysis.
Review in International journal of nursing studies advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Preoperative prehabilitation is increasingly adopted across clinical disciplines, yet it lacks a consensus on its definition and core components, which hinders standardization and implementation in clinical practice. Objective: To systematically analyze the concept of preoperative prehabilitation using Rodgers' evolutionary framework to clarify its definition, antecedents, attributes, and consequences. Information sources: A systematic literature search was conducted across five electronic databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase from database inception to September 2024. Methods: A concept analysis was performed using Rodgers' evolutionary framework. Results: A total of 65 articles were included for the analysis. The antecedents of preoperative prehabilitation included patient-related factors, healthcare system and organizational factors, social support, and time window. Attributes of preoperative prehabilitation included intervention timing and duration, provider-recipient dyad, intervention components, and goal-oriented. The consequences of preoperative prehabilitation included enhancing patient self-efficacy, optimizing perioperative outcomes, impact on healthcare economics, promoting sustained health behavior change, safety and potential adverse events. Conclusions: This concept analysis of preoperative prehabilitation helps elucidate its antecedents, attributes, and consequences to provide a foundational basis for a conceptual consensus and standardized practice. Our work also informs future research aimed at optimizing the implementation of the concept and improving patient outcomes, ultimately enhancing patient welfare.
