Summary
This scoping review examines the integration of robotics in nursing practice to address workforce shortages and burnout. It aims to map existing evidence and identify knowledge gaps for future research and policy development.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare technology
- Nursing informatics
- Robotics in medicine
Background:
- Global healthcare systems face critical nursing shortages due to aging populations and increased demand.
- High stress and burnout contribute to attrition among nurses, exacerbating workforce challenges.
- Robotics offers potential solutions to support nurses, but its impact remains understudied.
Purpose of the Study:
- To understand the extent and type of evidence regarding robotics integration in nursing practice.
- To identify current research trends and knowledge gaps in this emerging field.
- To inform future research directions and practical applications of robotics in nursing.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review guided by Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR checklist.
- Comprehensive search of multiple electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, IEEE Xplore) and gray literature.
- Independent screening and data extraction by two reviewers, with a third reviewer for conflict resolution; data analysis using descriptive statistics and content analysis.
Main Results:
- The review will describe current evidence on robotics integration and impact in clinical nursing.
- It will provide insights into the current state of knowledge and identify existing gaps.
- Expected to inform policy, practice, and future research directions in nursing robotics.
Conclusions:
- The rapidly evolving robotics industry presents opportunities to enhance healthcare delivery and nursing practice.
- This systematic investigation protocol will provide a comprehensive overview of the field.
- Encourages further scholarly and research contributions to the integration of robotics in nursing.
