Abstract

This descriptive study was conducted to determine the knowledge level of the Nursing Department’s students about robotic surgery and robotic nurses. The study was carried out with 478 nursing students between March 2022 and May 2022 in a foundation university. The study data were collected through face-to-face interviews via a questionnaire form. Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistical methods, Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskal Wallis test. It was found that 84.3% of the students were interested in technology and 79.3% of the students heard of the term robotic surgery before. Most of the students stated that their knowledge level about robotic surgery and robotic surgery nursing was partially sufficient (73%). It was also found that more than half of the students (56.7%) knew about the existence of the field of robotic surgery in nursing. Although most of the students heard the term robotic surgery, majority of the student’s level of knowledge was partly sufficient and they got knowledge mostly from the internet. Informing nursing students about robotic surgery will help students gain professional and technological knowledge and skills in the nursing profession and help them in their career planning.

Knowledge Levels of Nursing Students About Robotic Surgery and Robotic Surgery Nursing

Abstract

Bu tanımlayıcı araştırma, Hemşirelik Bölümü öğrencilerinin robotik cerrahi ve robotik hemşireler hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma, bir vakıf üniversitesinde Mart 2022 ile Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında 478 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri, anket formu aracılığıyla yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla toplanmıştır. Veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler, Mann-Whitney U Testi ve Kruskal Wallis-H Testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin %84.3'ünün teknolojiye ilgi duyduğu ve %79.3'ünün robotik cerrahi terimini daha önce duyduğu saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin çoğunluğu robotik cerrahi ve robotik cerrahi hemşireliği ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerinin kısmen yeterli olduğunu (%73) belirtmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin yarısından fazlasının (%56.7) hemşirelikte robotik cerrahi alanının varlığından haberdar olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin çoğu robotik cerrahi terimini duymasına rağmen, öğrencilerin bilgi düzeylerinin kısmen yeterli olduğu ve çoğunlukla internetten bilgi edindiği görülmüştür. Hemşirelik öğrencilerine robotik cerrahi hakkında bilgi verilmesi, öğrencilerin hemşirelik mesleğine ilişkin mesleki ve teknolojik bilgi ve becerileri kazanmalarına ve kariyer planlamalarına yardımcı olacaktır.
