Abstract

Background: Robotic total knee arthroplasty uses certain software to convert anatomical images into a virtual three-dimension reconstruction of joints, might enhance nursing clinical education and patient care. Aim: To investigate the effect of instructional guidelines on Nurses’ performance regarding robotic total knee arthroplasty among patient with tri compartmental osteoarthritis knee with various deformities. Design: A quasi-experimental (pre/post-test) research design was used to conduct the study. Setting: The study was conducted in the orthopedic departments at Sohag University Hospital. Sample: The study subjects were included a convenient sample of all available staff nurses working in previous selected settings and who agreed to participate in the study. Tools: Two tools were used for data collection: Tool I: Nurses' knowledge questionnaire: It consisted of two parts as the following: Part 1: included personal data of the studied nurses; Part 2: Structured multiple-choice questionnaire to assess nurses' knowledge regarding robotic total knee arthroplasty among patient with tri compartmental osteoarthritis knee with various deformities, and Tool II: Nurses' reported practices regarding robotic total knee arthroplasty (pre/posttest). Results: The results of the study showed that the nurses' overall practice scores and knowledge scores before and after the implementation of instructional guidelines regarding (0.001 and 0.003), respectively, had a highly statistically significant positive correlation. Conclusion: Instructional guidelines have a favorable impact on nurses' knowledge and practice on robotic total knee arthroplasty among patients with tri compartmental arthritic knees with varied deformities, according to the study's findings. Recommendations: To increase their proficiency, nurses should have access to in-service training courses and continuing education opportunities on robotic total knee arthroplasty.
