“…In general, the telenursing care increases benefits for distant, rural, small, or sparsely populated regions. In 1998 Wootton et al 9 assessed the proportion of home nursing visits that could be replaced by home telenursing in the United Kingdom. They found that from 14% to 16% of home nursing visits could be done via telemedicine.…”

Objective: Telehealth and telenursing are becoming the new reality in studying nursing. Little is known whether undergraduate nursing students receive adequate education on telenursing for patient care. The aim for this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of nursing students toward telenursing. Subjects and Methods: Students of nursing faculties from medical universities in Poland were invited to complete a survey about telehealth and telenursing. The survey was conducted utilizing a Web-based surveying platform (www .mini-ankiety.pl). Results: We surveyed 308 undergraduate students of nursing faculty-291 females (94%) and 17 males (6%)-from medical universities in Poland. There were 116 students in their first year (course) (38%) and 96 students each in the second and third years (31%). Most of the students (220 [71%]) in the study group were in the age range from 20 to 23 years. The accurate definition of telemedicine was identified by 251 (82%) respondents. The definition of telenursing was recognized properly by 230 (75%) respondents. Of the students, 207 (67%) would anticipate telenursing service implementation into the national healthcare system, and 214 (69.49%) would appreciate the addition of telenursing classes to the curriculum. Students from a few universities showed significantly higher willingness to introduce telenursing classes into nursing curriculum and the intention to use telenursing services in their future nursing practice. The difference among universities could be influenced by regional e-health initiatives. This study has shown the rise of trust in technology along with the increase in the year of nursing study. Conclusions: The current generation of university students of nursing seems to be well educated in medical informatics and technology use. They are better prepared for and open to information society membership, including the practice of telehealth. The advancement in university education has an influence on positive attitudes toward telenursing and may become a milestone in the development of e-health in Poland.

“…It has been used as an aid in home nursing [34], as well as a tool to provide teleconsultation in specialties such as cardiology, critical care, neurology, radiology, and orthopedics [15,16,19,26,30]. In our study, we used this technology to provide telementoring and telerobotic assistance to community surgeons.…”

“…The research stressed that a greater proportion of care should be provided at patients' own homes. 2 Several scientific surveys on community nurse activity report that an important percentage of in-home visits by medical staff could be replaced by adequate remote communication with patients (e.g., 15% reported by Wooton et al, 35 see also ref. 36 ).…”

This article reviews the emerging concept of health "Smart" homes (HSH) and its potential through the use of telemedical information systems and communication technologies. HSH systems provide health care services for people with special needs who wish to remain independent and living in their own home. The large diversity of needs in a home-based patient population requires complex technology. Meeting these needs technically requires the use of a distributed approach and the combination of many hardware and software techniques. We also describe the wide scope of new information, communication, and data-acquisition technologies used in home health care. We offer an introduction to the HSH concept in terms of technical, economic, and human requirements. Examples of HSH projects are presented, including a short description of our own smart home and telehealthcare information system project.
