About
Dr. Ezgi Seyhan Ak is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical nursing, technology, and human factors, with a primary focus on the psychosocial and operational impacts of robotic-assisted surgery. Her work critically examines how advanced technologies—from robotic systems to artificial intelligence—reshape nursing roles, workflows, and well-being. In her highly cited qualitative study (6 citations, 2025), she explored the phenomenon of technostress among robotic surgery nurses, revealing the emotional and cognitive burdens imposed by high-tech surgical environments. Her comparative study (2023, 5 citations) demonstrated that robotic-assisted total knee replacement is associated with reduced postoperative pain and anxiety and improved sleep quality compared to manual surgery, providing evidence for patient-centered benefits. More recently (2025, 2 citations), she investigated nurses’ perceptions of AI, highlighting both optimism and concerns about autonomy and job security. Dr. Seyhan Ak’s work is notable for giving voice to frontline nursing staff in the era of digital transformation, and her findings have direct implications for training, workflow design, and technology implementation in surgical settings. Her research is essential reading for students and professionals interested in the human dimensions of surgical innovation.
