Abstract
Robotic-assisted surgery has benefits for patients, but there are challenges to working in this field. In Turkey, training is not provided for nurses working in robotic-assisted surgery, and national legislation on nurses' roles in these settings has not been implemented. This study aimed to demonstrate the roles and experiences of nurses in robotic-assisted surgery in Turkey. This study was conducted as a mixed-methods research. The qualitative data were analysed by content analysis. More than half of the nurses had received basic training in robotic-assisted surgery. Qualitative data consisted of five themes, including the effects of robotic surgery, feelings and thoughts on robotic surgery, working as a nurse in robotic surgery settings, responsibilities of nurses and competence of nurses working in robotic surgery settings. Determining the working conditions and roles of nurses working in robotic-assisted surgery settings by policymakers in regulations is crucial for improving the quality of nursing care and the outcomes of patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Perioperative Practice (JPP) is the official journal of the Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP). It is an international, peer reviewed journal with a multidisciplinary ethos across all aspects of perioperative care. The overall aim of the journal is to improve patient safety through informing and developing practice. It is an informative professional journal which provides current evidence-based practice, clinical, management and educational developments for practitioners working in the perioperative environment. The journal promotes perioperative practice by publishing clinical research-based articles, literature reviews, topical discussions, advice on clinical issues, current news items and product information.
