Twenty\u2010five full\u2010text articles met the inclusion criteria and were analysed. The literature was examined using Walker and Avant's concept analysis method to identify the uses, defining attributes, antecedents, consequences and empirical referents of surgical readiness. Findings were synthesized across disciplinary perspectives to develop an integrative conceptual definition relevant to nursing practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The literature revealed considerable inconsistency in how surgical readiness was conceptualized and measured across disciplines, underscoring the need for an integrated conceptual framework. Five defining attributes emerged: holistic preparedness, physiological optimization, psychological confidence, collaborative participation and systemic efficiency. Antecedents included comprehensive assessment, patient education, physiological optimization and team coordination. Consequences included potential associations with patient safety, psychological well\u2010being, procedural efficiency, interprofessional collaboration and quality improvement. Empirical referents were identified at patient (physiological stability, anxiety level), professional (communication, documentation) and system levels (availability of surgical resources, safety checklists). The integrated definition conceptualizes surgical readiness as a dynamic, multidimensional state characterized by the alignment of patient, professional and system\u2010level preparedness, encompassing physical optimization, psychological confidence, collaborative participation and coordinated organizational support for perioperative care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for the Profession and\/or Patient Care<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This concept analysis provides a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of surgical readiness by integrating patient\u2010, professional\u2010 and system\u2010level dimensions.
