About

Britt Fredensborg is a Danish nursing researcher whose work centers on the evolving role of perioperative nurses in technologically advanced surgical environments, particularly robotic-assisted surgery. Her most-cited study, "Identifying curriculum content for operating room nurses involved in robotic-assisted surgery: a Delphi study" (2022, 10 citations), represents a foundational contribution to surgical nursing education. Through a rigorous Delphi method, Fredensborg identified essential competencies and knowledge areas for operating room nurses working alongside robotic systems, addressing a critical gap as robotic procedures become more prevalent. This work directly informs curriculum development for nursing programs, ensuring that practitioners are equipped with the specialized skills—from equipment troubleshooting to sterile technique adaptations—required for safe, effective patient care in robotic surgery. Fredensborg’s research bridges the intersection of nursing practice, technology integration, and educational design, offering practical frameworks that have been adopted by training institutions. Her contributions highlight the importance of role-specific education in maintaining high standards of perioperative care, making her a key voice in shaping the future of surgical nursing.
