BackgroundOwing to clinical developments and economic strain, perioperative care has undergone considerable changes. Therefore, it is important to review and critique the efficacy of existing practices in a context that is placing increasing emphasis on better efficacy and cost-containment. Considering that the objective involves devising approaches to minimize postoperative complications and reduce medical care, efforts should concentrate on postsurgical pulmonary complications that are common. The present analysis aims to examine how customized rehabilitation nursing intercession impacts the postsurgical restoration of respiratory functions in thoracic surgery patients.MethodsPrespecified search strategies will be employed to perform a methodological search of 6 databases namely EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, WanFang Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The analysis will comprise original publications that evaluated how personalized rehabilitation nursing intervention impacts postsurgical restoration of respiratory function in those who have undergone thoracic surgery. All considered publications are before December 25, 2021. Different authors will conduct an independent study selection process to evaluate the quality of the publications and extract required data. Based on the standardized mean difference and its 95% confidence interval, we estimate the summary effects for each meta-analyses. Based on heterogeneity in considered articles, the related data will be pooled through either a random- or fixed-effect meta-analysis. Lastly, the overall quality of evidence using appropriate methods will be performed.ResultsThe results of this analysis will systematically evaluate how customized rehabilitation nursing interference impact postsurgical healing of respiratory functions in patients who have undergone thoracic surgery by collecting the existing evidence.Ethics And DisseminationNot required.Open Science Framework Registration Number10.17605/OSF.IO/NBVYW.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
