Interventions
The Ready for Recovery program is a 6-week, multicomponent, tailored, prehabilitation intervention to promote the optimization of medical and psychological status prior to surgery. Its key components include education, enhancement of beneficial health behaviors, reduction of negative psychological symptoms, and the promotion of social support. Following an initial session, the team will develop a customized prehabilitation plan for each participant. Participants will work towards goals each week and will discuss progress with their study trainer via weekly phone sessions, which will continue until the scheduled surgical procedure.
