About

Fiona Murphy is a distinguished researcher in surgical nursing and patient-centered care, with a particular focus on the psychosocial dimensions of modern surgical technologies. Her most-cited work, "Patients' Perceptions After Robot‐Assisted Surgery: An Integrative Review" (2020, 13 citations), addresses a critical gap in the literature by shifting attention from traditional clinical outcomes—such as morbidity, complications, and hospital stay—to the subjective experiences of patients undergoing robot-assisted surgery. This integrative review synthesizes limited existing evidence to highlight how patients perceive the benefits, anxieties, and informational needs associated with robotic procedures, offering valuable insights for clinicians and healthcare systems aiming to improve perioperative communication and support. Murphy’s work underscores the importance of incorporating patient voice into surgical innovation, advocating for a more holistic approach to evaluating advanced technologies. Her research has implications for nursing practice, surgical education, and patient education materials, making her a key contributor to the growing field of technology-mediated patient experience. Through her focused scholarship, Murphy continues to shape how healthcare professionals understand and address the human side of cutting-edge surgical care.
