ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the training status of robotic-assisted surgery nurses in hospitals with robotic-assisted surgery system in China, and to provide reference for the training and management of robotic-assisted surgery nurses.Methods:From August to December in 2021, hospitals with robotic-assisted surgery system in China were surveyed by a self-designed questionnaire distributed online.Results:The participants in the survey of 111 hospitals in 30 provinces, cities, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, nurses cooperated with robotic-assisted surgery exist the phenomenon of their own training was up to 96.40% (107/111) of hospital, 47.75% (53/111) of the hospital said the current training content also need to add other aspects of the course.
