Abstract:
Objective:To carry out a scoping review of studies on prehabilitation in kidney transplant patients.Methods:Databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Embase were searched according to the research methodology of the scoping review. The search period was from database establishment to August 14, 2024. Two researchers screened, summarized and analyzed the included literature.Results:A total of 11 papers were included. Intervention components involved unimodal prehabilitation and multimodal prehabilitation that incorporated exercise, nutrition, and psychological interventions. Forms of intervention included aerobic, resistance, flexibility exercises, respiratory function exercises, nutritional support, mindfulness-based stress reduction, psychoeducation, and cognitive therapy. Outcome indicators consisted of physical indicators, psychological indicators, quality of life, postoperative and feasibility indicators. Prehabilitation had positive impacts on cardiorespiratory fitness, physical fitness, physical activity, pain, quality of life, anxiety and depression, and short-term postoperative outcomes in kidney transplant patients.Conclusions:Prehabilitation interventions in kidney transplant patients are comprehensive, individualized, and have short-term positive outcomes. Future researchers should develop individualized multimodal prehabilitation intervention programs based on theoretical models to explore the long-term effects of prehabilitation, and should incorporate comprehensive evaluation indicators to explore the healthcare value and expandability factors of prehabilitation.
