Co-Developed Logic Model for Surgical Prehabilitation in an Acute Care Setting: A Qualitative Study of Stakeholders' Perspectives.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Prehabilitation programs treat modifiable risk factors to improve surgical outcomes. However, translation of research into practice remains challenging. Logic models, visual representations of how a program works, have the potential to bridge research-to-practice gaps. We aimed to develop a logic model for prehabilitation programs in tertiary care centers by interviewing stakeholders about what should be the mission, inputs, outputs (activities and participants), and targeted outcomes for prehabilitation.

Methods

A multi-site qualitative study was conducted from June 2022 to December 2023. Interviews were analyzed using manifest summative content analysis to determine logic model items. Focus groups for member checking were performed with stakeholders throughout the
