ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate how medical staff recognize and understand the nursing quality evaluation in robot-assisted arthroplasty so as to provide reference and evidence for construction of a nursing quality evaluation system for robot-assisted arthroplasty.Methods:The descriptive phenomenological research method was used for this qualitative research. From May to October, 2021, 6 doctors and 9 nurses from Operating Room, Laoshan Campus, Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University were interviewed in a semi-structured way about the nursing quality evaluation for robot-assisted arthroplasty. The data were sorted out by Nvivo12.0 qualitative analysis software, and the interview data were analyzed while the themes and topics refined according to the Colaizzi seven-step analysis of phenomenological data.Results:Three themes were extracted. ① The first theme was related to the quality evaluation of nursing structure, including 2 topics nursing staff allocation and nursing quality management in operating room. ② The second theme was related to the quality evaluation of nursing process, including 4 topics environment and facilities, nosocomial infection control, management of patients' operative safety, and specialized operative nursing. ③ The third theme was related to the quality evaluation of nursing outcomes, including 3 topics satisfaction for operating room nursing, incidence of adverse events and patients' benefits.Conclusion:The themes and topics for nursing quality evaluation in robot-assisted arthroplasty extracted from the perspective of medical staff can provide reference for construction of a reasonable, scientific, efficient and comprehensive nursing quality evaluation index system.
