Abstract

Abstract Background In order to develop a feasible prehabilitation program before surgery of NSCLC, this study aimed to gain insight into beliefs, facilitators, and barriers of 1) healthcare professionals to refer patients to a prehabilitation program, 2) patients to participate in and adhere to a prehabilitation program, and 3) informal caregivers to support their loved ones. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals, patients who underwent surgery for NSCLC, and their informal caregivers. The capability, opportunity, and motivation for behavior-model (COM-B) guided the development of the interview questions. Results were analyzed thematically. Results The interviews were conducted with twelve healthcare professionals, seventeen patients, and sixteen informal caregivers. Healthcare professionals mentioned that professionals should facilitate the referral of patients to prehabilitation within primary and secondary healthcare involved in prehabilitation, considering the short preoperative period. Patients did not know that a better preoperative physical fitness and nutritional status would make a difference in the risk of postoperative complications. Patients indicated that they want to receive information about the aim and possibilities of prehabilitation. Most patients preferred a group-based physical exercise training program organized in their living context in primary care. Informal caregivers could support their loved one. Conclusion A prehabilitation program should be started as soon as possible after the diagnosis of lung cancer. Receiving information about the purpose and effects of prehabilitation in a consult with a physician seems crucial to patients to be involved in prehabilitation. Support of loved ones in the patient’s own living context is essential for adherence.
