Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The inclusion of nurse practitioners (NPs) specializing in orthopedics shows potential for improving the quality of care for orthopedic patients. A critical aspect of assessing the feasibility and acceptance of introducing NPs into orthopedic settings involves understanding patients\' perspectives on this role. This study aims to explore the receptiveness of orthopedic patients to treatment by orthopedic Nurse Practitioners (NPs). Additionally, it investigates potential associations between patients\' willingness to engage with NPs, their familiarity with the NPs role, perceptions of nursing, and satisfaction with orthopedic nursing care.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study involved patients admitted to an orthopedic department in a central Israeli hospital between January and February 2023. Data was collected using a questionnaire consisting of five sections, validated by content experts. Statistical analyses, performed using SPSS, included descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, Pearson correlations, and linear regression.
RESULTS: Orthopedic patient participants demonstrated a moderate willingness to undergo treatment by orthopedic NPs, with over two-thirds expressing strong openness. Patients displayed a high willingness for NPs to engage in various clinical tasks, albeit showing lesser enthusiasm for medication management and preoperative evaluation. Positive attitudes towards nurses and familiarity with the NP\'s role emerged as significant predictors of patient receptiveness to NPs\' treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Patient acceptance of orthopedic NPs varies across different aspects of care. While there is overall willingness to receive care from NPs, these nuanced preferences should be considered when implementing NPs in orthopedic settings. Awareness and positive perceptions play crucial roles in shaping patients\' willingness to receive care from these NPs.
BACKGROUND: The research doesn\'t report the results of a health care intervention.

摘要：
背景：纳入专门从事骨科的执业护士（NPs）显示出改善骨科患者护理质量的潜力。评估将NPs引入骨科设置的可行性和接受度的一个关键方面涉及了解患者对这一角色的看法。本研究旨在探讨骨科患者对骨科护士从业人员（NPs）治疗的接受度。此外,它调查了患者与NP接触的意愿之间的潜在关联，他们对NP角色的熟悉程度，对护理的看法，及对骨科护理的满意度。
方法：这项横断面研究涉及2023年1月至2月在以色列中部医院骨科住院的患者。使用由五个部分组成的问卷收集数据，由内容专家验证。统计分析，使用SPSS执行，包括描述性统计，独立样本t检验，皮尔逊相关性，和线性回归。
结果：骨科患者参与者表现出接受骨科NP治疗的适度意愿，超过三分之二的人表示强烈的开放性。患者对NPs参与各种临床任务表现出很高的意愿，尽管对药物管理和术前评估的热情较低。对护士的积极态度和对NP作用的熟悉程度成为患者接受NP治疗的重要预测因素。
结论：患者对骨科NPs的接受程度因护理的不同方面而异。虽然总体上愿意接受NPs的护理，在骨科设置中实施NP时,应考虑这些细微差别的偏好.意识和积极的看法在塑造患者接受这些NPs护理的意愿中起着至关重要的作用。
背景：该研究没有报告卫生保健干预的结果。
