According to the International ERAS Society guidelines for gynecological surgery, early ambulation was defined as \u201cpatients independently or with assistance from medical staff and auxiliary devices performing out-of-bed activities within 24 h postoperatively, including: sitting in a chair for \u226520 min after bed-to-chair transfer, and\/or standing beside the bed for \u22653 min, and\/or walking distance \u22655 meters\u201d. Data were collected through questionnaire surveys, including general patient information, surgical information, self-efficacy, and kinesiophobia scores. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors influencing early ambulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 161 patients, 39% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 63) successfully completed early ambulation within 24 h post-surgery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of vaginal packing postoperatively (OR = 3.8, 95%CI:1.6\u223c9.0,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.003); low patient willingness to be active active (OR = 12.3,95%CI:3.6\u223c41.7,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001); lack of guidance on early ambulation (OR = 4.9,95%CI:1.1\u223c21.5,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.036) were significant risk factors for the failure to ambulate early. Additionally, the incidence of postoperative kinesiophobia among PFDs patients was 84% (135\/161), with a TSK-11 score of (29.9 \u00b1 3.1) points, suggesting that kinesiophobia may be a psychological barrier to early ambulation.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The completion rate of ambulation within 24 h after surgery for PFD patients is relatively low postoperative vaginal packing gauze; insufficient willingness to be active; lack of early ambulation guidance, and postoperative kinesiophobia are the main barriers. Clinical medical staff should seek the best evidence, optimize the ERAS strategy, scientifically manage the vaginal packing strategy, strengthen health education for patients and caregivers during the perioperative period, promptly guide patients\u2019 phobia, implement individualized early ambulation programs, improve the compliance of early ambulation activities, and thereby accelerate the
