“…This investigation is more extensive than the one conducted in Nigeria [ 25 ]. According to this study, healthcare workers with prior computer experience were more likely than those without to have a solid understanding of TM [ 2 , 26 ]. Bolstered by the notion that computer training will contribute to an increase in TM compared to health professionals without computer access, those with access to one were more likely to be well-versed in telemedicine [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Introduction Telemedicine is a useful tool for decreasing hospital stress, patient suffering, ambulance needs, hospital anxiety, and costs while improving the standard of care. Nonetheless, the lack of awareness regarding telemedicine poses a barrier to its application, presenting several difficulties in underdeveloped nations like Ethiopia. This review evaluates Ethiopian-specific telemedicine knowledge and associated factors. Methods This systematic review was conducted using a search of several online databases in addition to the main databases, like Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct. The writers have looked for, reviewed, and summarized information about telemedicine knowledge in the healthcare system. This study contained seven studies that examined telemedicine knowledge in the Ethiopian healthcare sector. Studies that followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA) were found using search engines. The investigation was carried out using STATA version 11. The indicator of heterogeneity (I2) was used to assess the level of heterogeneity among the included studies. The funnel plot was visually inspected, and Egger’s regression test was run to check for publication bias. The pooled effect size of every study is estimated using a random-effect model meta-analysis. Results Examination of 2160 studies, seven studies involving 2775 health professionals, and seven out of the 2160 publications assessed satisfied the inclusion criteria and were added to the systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of Telemedicine knowledge was 45.20 (95% CI: 34.87–55.53). Whereas the pooled factor was computer training was 2.24 times (AOR = 2.24 (95%; CI: 1.64–3.08)), computer access was 2.07 times (AOR = 2.07 (95% CI: 1.50–2.87)), internet access was 3.09 times (AOR = 3.09 (95% CI: 1.34–7.13)), social media access were 3.09 times (AOR = 3.09(95%; CI: 1.34–7.13)), educational status degree and above were 2.73 times (AOR = 2.73; 95% CI: 0.85–8.82), Awareness were 3.18 times (AOR = 3.18 (95%; CI: 1.02–9.91)), Management support was 1.85 (AOR = 1.85 (95% CI: 01.25–2.75)), computer literacy were 2.90 times (AOR = 2.90 (95% CI: 1.81–4.64)), computer owner were 1.70 times (AOR = 1.70 (95% CI: 1.05–2.76)), male gender were 1.95 times (AOR = 1.95 (95% CI: 1.32–2.87)). Conclusion The overall pooled prevalence of telemedicine knowledge was low. Gender, education, management support, computer access, social media access, internet access, telemedicine awareness, and telemedicine training associated with telemedicine knowledge.

“…Healthcare professionals provide several types of telehealth services: live video conferencing, asynchronous or store-and-forward technology, remote patient monitoring, and mHealth. When applying telenursing, a nurse can use various communication technologies, including telephone, fax, computer, tablet or other form of modern technology which enables capturing, storing, analyzing and dissemination data such as text, photos and videos using telecommunication (8,9). Nurses can use applications such as WhatsApp, Facetime, SMS, e-mail, smartphone applications, etc.…”

Introduction. Telenursing, a subset of telehealth, is the use of information technology and telecommunications to provide remote nursing care. Telemedicine is used for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment, symptom management and monitoring of the patient’s condition. Telenursing also enables counseling and patient education.Aim. To determine the knowledge and attitudes of nursing students towards telenursing.Methods. The cross-sectional study was conducted involving nursing students from University of Applied Health Sciences Zagreb during June 2023. A link to web-based survey was sent to students, and 140 students completed it. The survey used in the research included demographic data, data related to telemedicine and telenursing education, and 16 statements related to telenursing.Results. Most participants didn’t listen to lectures on telenursing (66.4%) or telemedicine (50.7%) during their studies. More than 89% of participants believe that education on the application of telenursing would be useful for future nursing bachelors, and more than 83% of participants believe that the knowledge of healthcare workers and patients can influence the use of telemedicine and telenursing in patient care. The majority of participants (N=91; 65%) believe that a video conference call cannot re- place a live visit to a patient, but they also believe that telenursing can ensure greater availability of care for patients (N=82; 58.6%). The majority of participants (N=72; 51.5%) believe that telenursing can be applied in the care of almost all groups of patients.Conclusions. Students have mostly positive attitudes regarding the possibility of using telenursing, but they are undecided regarding the advantages of telenursing. A lack of knowledge and wrong beliefs related to the beginning of the application of telenursing, advantages and possibilities of using telenursing in health practice were observed. Including more content related to telenursing in student education can improve students’ knowledge and attitudes.
