Although data are available on surgical technique aspects and intraoperative nursing, studies have yet to offer insights and considerations about the potential effect of having different robotic platforms on postoperative nursing care.

Fifteen papers were retrieved; the key themes emerging from the literature regard trocar setup, technical characteristics of the robots (e.g. single or multiple ports), pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg degree. According to the literature, none of these characteristics produce differences in postoperative nursing. The fundamental concepts of postoperative care in surgical inpatients stay the same no matter the robotic platform used. Having competing platforms able to ensure reduced complications without impacting postoperative nursing allows health care facilities to adopt the newest technologies without the need for differentiated nursing protocols.

These patients can experience uncertainty and difficulty complying with rehabilitation programs, hence the importance of the therapeutic relationship with a healthcare professional. Mishel's theory of uncertainty can be used to measure uncertainty and the effects of such a relationship, but no instrument currently exists for this purpose. Prospective observational study enrolling all male and female adult patients admitted to a nurse-led outpatient pelvic clinic for non-neurogenic urinary incontinence, excluding puerpera.

Our previous research revealed gaps in practicing and student nurses' knowledge of mobility and continence in older people. To address this gap, we developed a self-directed e-learning module on continence and mobility to enhance student nurses knowledge. The module provided education about continence, mobility, and the links between them. Since we were unable to locate a continence and mobility measure that captured both lower urinary track symptoms and elements of mobility, we developed a continence and mobility knowledge quiz. For researchers and educators to be able to use this quiz with confidence, psychometric testing of our continence and mobility knowledge quiz was required. When caring for older people, two geriatric challenges—continence and mobility—are often linked and viewed as indicators of frailty. Functional changes related to continence and/or mobility can indicate an acute illness in older persons and, if left untreated, can result in permanent changes managing continence needs. Continence care is often viewed negatively and is not prioritized by nurses. We employed stages in development of the Continence and Mobility Knowledge Quiz. In stage one, we developed 18 item true/false items from the literature with the guidance of a continence expert. In stage two, we tested the Quiz with nursing students from three universities in Canada. In stage three, (the current stage) we assessed the validity of the scale using a factor analysis and a reliability analysis (via standardized Cronbach's alpha). From our sample of 420, factor analysis indicated a two-factor model (as suggested by Kaiser's rule), explained 22% of the variation in responses to the assessment items. We recommend removing item 7 as it does not contribute to the internal consistency of the tool. Cronbach's alpha after removing 7 is 0.65, indicating satisfactory reliability.

This descriptive research will identify the prevalence of self-care and ED in Turkish men having coronary heart disease and examine potential interactions between them. This descriptive study conducted between March 2022 and March 2023 with 178 men aged 18–70 years who were followed up in the cardiology polyclinic of a hospital with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Data collected via face-to-face meetings using a Socio-Demographic Questionnaire Form, Coronary Heart Disease Self-Care Inventory and International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire.
