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
