Key result
Scoping review protocol targets kinesiophobia prevalence and interventions after aortic valve replacement.
Why the study?
Kinesiophobia is common among cardiac surgery patients and hinders participation in cardiac rehabilitation, prompting the need to map existing evidence on its prevalence, related factors, assessment tools, and interventions after SAVR and TAVR.
What are the prevalence, associated factors, assessment tools, and interventions for kinesiophobia in patients following aortic valve replacement?
What are the prevalence, associated factors, assessment tools, and interventions for kinesiophobia in patients following aortic valve replacement?
This scoping review protocol aims to map existing evidence and identify research gaps regarding the prevalence, assessment, and management of kinesiophobia in patients after surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement to inform cardiac rehabilitation nursing.
Kinesiophobia post-AVR remains unmapped; leaves open its prevalence, rehab impact, and need for targeted studies.
Beief description：This scoping review aims to map the existing evidence regarding kinesiophobia in patients after aortic valve replacement (AVR), including both surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Kinesiophobia, the irrational fear of physical activity, is common among cardiac surgery patients and hinders participation in cardiac rehabilitation. The review will follow the JBI methodological framework for scoping reviews and the PRISMA-ScR reporting guideline. We will search Chinese and English databases. Studies exploring the prevalence, related factors, assessment tools, and interventions of kinesiophobia in AVR recipients will be included. Studies without available full text, case reports, and pure review articles without original data will be excluded. Two independent reviewers will screen literature, extract data and chart the evidence. This review intends to identify research gaps and provide references for clinical cardiac rehabilitation nursing. Research questions： 1. What is the current evidence on the prevalence of kinesiophobia among patients after aortic valve replacement? The latest research status at home and abroad？ 2. What are the associated factors and assessment tools for kinesiophobia in this population? 3. What interventions have been applied to reduce kinesiophobia in patients following AVR? 4. What are the research gaps in this field?

次仁曲珍 (2026) conducted a review in Kinesiophobia following aortic valve replacement (SAVR and TAVR). Aortic valve replacement (SAVR and TAVR) was evaluated on Prevalence, associated factors, assessment tools, and interventions for kinesiophobia. This scoping review protocol outlines a plan to map evidence on kinesiophobia after aortic valve replacement; no quantitative findings are reported yet.
