Abstract | ||
Background: Robotic assisted surgery is considered a major technological advancement in minimally invasive surgery and artificial intelligence integration. Aim: To evaluate the effect of implementing nursing educational program on perioperative nurses' knowledge and attitude regarding robotic-assisted surgery. Design: A quasi-experimental research design Setting: Operation Department of New Surgical Hospital at Tanta Main University Hospital. Subjects: All available nurses (80) who work directly with patients undergoing surgery. Tools: Two data collection tools were utilized. Tool I: Structure Interview Schedule for nurses, Tool II: General Attitudes towards Robots Scale (GAToRS). Results: Highly significant improvement in total nurse’s knowledge levels and attitude regarding robotic-assisted surgery since p value was (0.001) post implementing the program. It was determined that preprogram (95 %) had low level of knowledge compared to the majority (91.25 % and 87.50%) immediately and two-month post educational program. Also, preprogram the minority of the studied nurses (10 %) had a positive attitude compared to the majority (86.20 %) had a positive attitude post program. Conclusions: Implementation of the nursing educational program associated with significant improvement in the total mean score of nurse's knowledge and attitude. Recommendations: Training program should be conducted for nursing staff in the operating room regarding robotic assisted surgery | ||
