By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Current study results on robotics have been published. According to news reporting originating from Port-Said Universi ty by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Scholars have become increasingly interested in incorporating robots into healthcare. While there is a growing bo dy of research examining nurses' and patients' attitudes towards using robots in healthcare, no prior research has specifically explored their willingness to in tegrate service robots within the Egyptian healthcare context." Financial supporters for this research include Port Said University. The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Port-Said Universit y: "The aim of this study was twofold: (a) to explore the behavioral intentions of nurses to accept robots in their workplace, and (b) to examine the willingnes s of patients to use service robots in healthcare settings. A mixedmethods stud y was conducted. Quantitative data were collected from 301 nurses using the Beha vioral Intention to Accept Robots in the Workplace Scale and from 467 patients u sing the Service Robot Integration Willingness Scale through convenience samplin g at three tertiary public hospitals in Port Said, Egypt. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 16 nurses, focusing o n their perspectives and concerns regarding robot integration. Descriptive analy ses were used to analyze quantitative data, and thematic analysis was used to an alyze qualitative data. Quantitative results indicated a moderate level of behav ioral intention to use robots among nurses. Patients demonstrated low willingnes s to use service robots. In the qualitative analysis of the data obtained from t he interviews with nurses, three categories (Concerns about Robots, Roles and Co mpetencies, and Potential Benefits) and eight themes (interaction and emotions, maintenance and reliability, job insecurity, role clarity, competence in critica l care, trustworthiness, reducing physical strain, and specialized applications) were identified."
