About
Carlijn E. Vrins is a leading researcher in perioperative nursing and healthcare technology, whose work critically examines the intersection of surgical innovation and workforce sustainability. Her primary research areas include operating room technology integration, intra-operative nursing workload, and job satisfaction—a timely focus given the global nursing shortage. Vrins’s most notable contribution is her 2025 observational study, "Impact of operating room technology on intra-operative nurses' workload and job satisfaction," which has already garnered 3 citations. This work provides empirical evidence on how advanced surgical technologies, while revolutionizing workflows and team dynamics, paradoxically contribute to nurse burnout and turnover, directly impacting patient care quality. By quantifying these effects, Vrins offers actionable insights for hospital administrators and policymakers to redesign OR environments and support systems. Her research bridges a critical gap between technological progress and human factors, making her a vital voice in healthcare operations and nursing retention strategies. Vrins’s findings are essential reading for students and professionals seeking to balance innovation with workforce well-being.
