The aim of this study was to explore the work experience of perioperative nurses involved in robotic surgery. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted. Participants were 15 nurses who had been on a robotic surgery team at one of five major university hospitals in Seoul, South Korea. Participants were one male and 14 female nurses (mean age, 31.33 [SD, 4.19] years; range, 25-41 years). Their experience as robotic surgery nurses ranged from 8 months to 6 years. Nurses' experiences with robotic surgery were categorized within four main themes: (1) constant checking on patients' safety and the robot's functions; (2) unexpected robotic machine errors or malfunctions; (3) feelings of burden in a robotic surgical team; and (4) need and desire for more information and education. This study showed that there are common concerns about patient safety and the possibility of emergencies related to robot system failure among nurses. Offering more support for nurses involved in robotic surgery should be a priority to empower them to play an extended role in robotic surgery.
本研究的目的是探索参与机器人手术的围手术期护士的工作体验。进行了一项定性描述性研究。研究对象为韩国首尔五家主要大学医院之一的机器人手术团队中的15名护士。研究对象为1名男护士和14名女护士（平均年龄31.33岁[标准差4.19]；年龄范围25 - 41岁）。他们作为机器人手术护士的经验从8个月到6年不等。护士们在机器人手术方面的经历分为四个主要主题：（1）持续检查患者安全和机器人功能；（2）机器人机器意外错误或故障；（3）机器人手术团队中的负担感；（4）对更多信息和教育的需求与渴望。本研究表明，护士们对患者安全以及与机器人系统故障相关的紧急情况可能性存在共同担忧。为参与机器人手术的护士提供更多支持应成为优先事项，以使他们能够在机器人手术中发挥更大作用。
