A series of NLO chromophores based on a mono-, di- or tri-substituted triphenylamine core and allylidenemalononitrile fragments has been designed.

Aim: To compare and evaluate operating room nurses' opinions about robotic surgery with their individual innovativeness metric scores. The aim was also to identify the experiences, adaptation processes and influencing factors of operating room nurses working in robotic surgery rooms in Turkey. Design:This was a comparative descriptive study. Methods:The sample included 114 operating room nurses working in 12 institutions that performed robotic surgery in Turkey. Data were collected between January 2018 and September 2019 using the Demographic Characteristics of Nurses and Robotic Surgery Evaluation Form and the Individual Innovativeness Scale, and were analysed using a quantitative statistical approach (independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis H test). The data obtained from the Robotic Surgery Evaluation section, which consisted of open-ended and closed-ended questions, were analysed with appropriate steps. In particular, answers to open-ended questions were grouped and coded according to their content. Results: Operating room nurses held positive opinions about robotic surgery. Only 35.8% of the nurses had received training before joining the robotic team, while 55.2% had individually searched for information. Operating room nurses with robotic surgery experience had significantly higher (p < .001) individual innovativeness scores. Over 85% of nurses who received training adapted to robotic surgery in 3 months or less, while nurses with higher individual innovativeness scores adapted in a statistically significantly (p < .05) shorter period. Training, teamwork, and practical experience were mentioned as facilitating factors; inadequate training and technical problems were reported as obstructing factors. Conclusion: Operating room nurses hold positive opinions about robotic surgery; nurses with robotic surgery experience have higher levels of individual innovativeness; and nurses who have received training are significantly better adapted.Impact: What problem did the study address? This study addresses the need for a better understanding of operating room nurses' opinions and experiences about robotic surgery and the influencing factors of adapting to it. This study also offers an evaluation
