Cancer prehabilitation, defined as a process occurring between cancer diagnosis and the onset of acute treatment, is highlighted for its ability to enhance physical and mental health results while decreasing overall healthcare costs. This summary introduces the concept of cancer prehabilitation and emphasises the crucial role of oncology nurses in rehabilitation care. The cancer treatment plan of prehabilitation requires timely and efficient assessment across the care continuum, focusing on enhancing outcomes at every stage of cancer. The battle with cancer involves three different assessments with distinct goals: i) prehabilitation evaluation before treatment, ii) early post-treatment evaluations of rehabilitation and iii) final evaluations of health promotion. Analyses and treatments for significant side effects or complications associated with the treatment specifically for prehabilitation are recommended. The roles of coordination, counseling, preparing for discharge and teaching are outlined as integral components of a cancer nurse's responsibilities in the prevention of cancer. A literature search from March 2016 to June 2023 was conducted using the keywords 'neoplasms,' 'cancer,' 'prehabilitation,' 'continuum of care,' 'care continuum,' 'patient care continuity,' 'epidemiology,' 'therapeutics,' 'health,' 'prevention and control' and 'guidelines as topic.' The findings suggest that care coordinators or navigators for cancer should be educated to assess the physical and psychological status of patients once a cancer diagnosis is confirmed, particularly for those awaiting surgery at home. To enhance their competence in prehabilitation care, oncology nurses are encouraged to gain knowledge of certain tumours' outcomes and cancer-related treatments. Additionally, improving the ability to evaluate patients' functional status and emotional distress is crucial for oncology nurses involved in cancer prehabilitation.
癌症术前康复，被定义为在癌症诊断至急性治疗开始之间发生的一个过程，因其能够改善身心健康状况同时降低总体医疗成本而受到关注。本综述介绍了癌症术前康复的概念，并强调了肿瘤护士在康复护理中的关键作用。术前康复的癌症治疗计划需要在整个护理连续过程中进行及时有效的评估，重点是在癌症的每个阶段提高治疗效果。与癌症的斗争涉及三种不同的评估，各有不同目标：i）治疗前的术前康复评估，ii）治疗后早期的康复评估，以及iii）健康促进的最终评估。建议对与术前康复治疗相关的重大副作用或并发症进行分析和治疗。协调、咨询、出院准备和教学等角色被概述为癌症护士在癌症预防责任中的重要组成部分。使用关键词“肿瘤”、“癌症”、“术前康复”、“护理连续过程”、“护理连续体”、“患者护理连续性”、“流行病学”、“治疗学”、“健康”、“预防与控制”以及“指南作为主题”进行了2016年3月至2023年6月的文献检索。研究结果表明，一旦确诊癌症，就应对癌症护理协调员或导航员进行培训，使其能够评估患者的身体和心理状况，尤其是那些在家中等待手术的患者。为提高他们在术前康复护理方面的能力，鼓励肿瘤护士了解某些肿瘤的治疗效果和癌症相关治疗方法。此外，对于参与癌症术前康复的肿瘤护士来说，提高评估患者功能状态和情绪困扰的能力至关重要。
