About
Dr. Joanna Baawa-Ameyaw is a leading voice in perioperative and orthopaedic nursing, with a focused research agenda on the nursing implications of emerging surgical technologies. Her most-cited work, "Nursing considerations for patients undergoing robotic-arm assisted joint replacements" (2021, 4 citations), provides a critical framework for the nursing care of patients receiving robotic-arm assisted arthroplasty (RAA). In this seminal paper, Dr. Baawa-Ameyaw addresses the unique perioperative challenges posed by RAA, including patient positioning, equipment management, and post-operative monitoring, helping to translate a rapidly advancing surgical technique into safe, evidence-based nursing practice. Her contributions are particularly significant as RAA gains popularity for its ability to improve implant accuracy and reduce surgical trauma, leading to better early functional outcomes and less postoperative pain. By bridging the gap between surgical innovation and nursing care, Dr. Baawa-Ameyaw has established herself as an essential resource for clinicians adapting to the robotic era in joint replacement. Her work continues to shape best practices and inform the next generation of orthopaedic nurses.
