(2010). The benefits to nurse-led telephone follow-up for prostate cancer. British Journal of Nursing, 19(17), 1085-1090. https://doi-org.proxytu.reasearchport.umd.edu/10.12968/bjon.2010.17.78565 Anderson (2010) explains how nurse-led telephone follow up is beneficial for patients with prostate cancer. He reveals empirical evidence showing that in conducting health care programs aimed at enhancing care quality and patient retention, the expertise of a multidisciplinary team is of vital significance in delivering nurse-led services. Several studies were conducted to evaluate the level of patient satisfaction with the use of telephone nurse-led services, and the results revealed that ninety percent of the patients (participants) were satisfied with the service provided. However, there is need for him to conduct more research on this area because the available data provided on nurse-led care was minimal, and the majority of these studies have small number of participants. Also, this prompts the concern of whether nurse-led programs are truly successful in improving telephone coverage and increasing patient quality of care. The article provides a great support to this paper because it gives context to the use of telenursing in improving patient satisfaction. Souza-Junior, V. D., Mendes, I. A., Mazzo, A., & Godoy, S. (2016). Application of telenursing in nursing practice: An integrative literature review. Applied nursing research: ANR, 29, 254– 260. https://doi-org.proxy-tu.researchport.umd.edu/10.1016/j.apnr.2015.05.005 Souza-Junior, Mendes, Mazzo & Godoy (2016) described telenursing as the use of digital resources and communication networks to foster nursing growth. They conducted a research on the latest telenursing techniques used in the nursing practice. Between 2003 and 2013, they conducted an integrative literature analysis of the use of telenursing, and made use of 3 telenursing, nursing care, and means of communication as descriptors. They found that its effectiveness has been shown in assisting countries in overcoming health care challenges. Also, the study's findings indicate that telenursing is successful, but some aspects, such as consumer awareness, proficiency, and familiarity with the technology used in the strategies, need to be strengthened. The authors explained that patients can encounter problems when they first begin a telenursing approach. However, after a period of adjusting to the program, adherence and the need for this form of treatment will rise. The information in this article gives support to what telenursing is, and its effectiveness to health care. Kaminsky, E., Aurin, I. E., Hedin, K., Andersson, L., & André, M. (2020). Registered nurses´ views on telephone nursing for patients with respiratory tract infections in primary healthcarea qualitative interview study. BMC Nursing, 19(1), 1–10. https://doi-org.proxytu.researchport.umd.edu/10.1186/s12912-020-00459-1 Kaminsky, Aurin, Hedin, Andersson & Andre (2020) conducted a research with the goal of explaining the registered nurses’ perspectives on telephone nursing work with people on the phone seeking treatment for respiratory tract infections at primary healthcare centers. Interviews of twelve registered nurses in Swedish primary healthcare were used to conduct a comprehensive and qualitative analysis. In the study, two trends emerged as the key findings for registered nurses' perspectives on the use of telephone nursing—professional issues and professional assistance. The importance of effective communication for understanding the caller’s (patient) symptoms and determining whether they are dangerous or not without physically seeing it was highlighted. This created a concern of overlooking something major in the patient’s health. Also, support from colleagues and teamwork collaboration was needed, but not always received by the registered nurses that were interviewed. This article is of 4 relevance to my paper because it highlights some of the downsides to telenursing from the nurse’s perspective. Gaines-Dillard, N. (2015). Nurse Led Telephone Follow-Up Improves Satisfaction in Motorcycle Trauma Patients. Journal of Trauma Nursing, 22(2), 71–77. https://doi-org.proxytu.researchport.umd.edu/10.1097/JTN.0000000000000110 Gaines-Dillard (2015) emphasizes on the benefits of telenursing as it leads to greater patient satisfaction. The aim of this research was to assess the use of telephone follow-up (TFU), which is a type of telehealth in patients discharged from the hospital after motorcycle injuries because it has been linked to enhanced health outcomes such as improved patient satisfaction, improved quality, decreased information deficits, and the potential to reduce emergency department visits and hospital readmissions. The use of telephone follow-up is an effective method for transferring clinical information, coping with symptomatic problems, detecting potential dangers early on, and being there for the patients after discharge, says Gaines. In the article a telephone follow-up was conducted and led by an advanced practice nurse which comprised of fifty-nine motorcycle trauma patients discharged to their homes. There was found to be an overall patient satisfaction in their care. This is useful in my paper because it provides some vital information on the benefits of telenursing in improving patient satisfaction. Uslu, E., & Buldukoglu, K. (2020). Randomized controlled trial of the effects of nursing care based on a telephone intervention for medication adherence in schizophrenia. Perspectives in Psychiatric Care, 56(1), 63–71. https://doi.org/10.1111/ppc.12376 Uslu & Buldukoglu (2020) did a study to see if "Telephone Intervention Problem Solving" (TIPS) has any impact on drug compliance in people with schizophrenia. A randomized 5 clinical trial was performed with a total of 45 participants for two months. There was an intervention group which got the “Telephone Intervention Problem Solving” and a control group that received standard care. The findings of this clinical trial showed that the use of TIPS as a form of telenursing practice, can discourage patients with schizophrenia from deliberately discontinuing their medications and improve their trust in the importance of medication and prescription adherence. They considered the use of weekly telephone interviews to conduct TIPS as a cost-effective way to encourage people to engage in their care. These interviews also provide a connection between the patients and healthcare professionals. There were some limitations to the study. The research only had a two-month follow-up. There should have been a longer follow-up after the intervention to assess the long-term efficacy of the use of TIPS. Also, only one population was included in the research trial. However, this article is of great use to my paper because it gives some important information on how the use of telenursing is beneficial to patients. Gagnon, MP., Duplantie, J., Fortin, JP., & Landry, R. (2007). Exploring the effects of telehealth on medical human resources supply: a qualitative case study in remote regions. BMC Health Services Research 7(6). https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6963-7-6 Gagnon, Duplantie, Fortin & Landry (2007) performed a case study to learn more about how physicians and managers view telehealth would help with physician recruiting and retention in remote and rural areas. They made use of two literature reviews—the factors affecting the recruiting and retention of physicians and the impact of telehealth. Then they also conducted a Delphi study after a range of hypotheses was produced on the potential effect of telehealth on the recruiting and retention of physicians. The results of the study showed that, the interviews demonstrated the possible effects of telehealth on a number of factors that are affecting the 6 recruiting and retention of physicians in rural and remote areas. It has the ability to improve job satisfaction by permitting for a localized on-call duty system and improved patient followup. Consequently, they added that there are some drawbacks to telehealth, such as the concern that it will potentially overtake all forms of clinical practices and onsite professionals in remote areas. The article provides useful information on both the benefits and drawbacks to telehealth from the healthcare professional standpoint. Roing, M., Rosenqvist, U., & K. Holmstrom, I. (2013). Threats to patient safety in telenursing as revealed in Swedish telenurses’ reflections on their dialogues. Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, 27(4), 969–976. https://doi-org.proxytu.researchport.umd.edu/10.1111/scs.12016 Roing, Rosenqvist & Holmstrom highlighted that the key sources of information for telenurses are their conversations with callers (patients), the content of this conversation may influence the provision of safe and quality care. The goal of their study was to identify the flaws of telenursing in tele-nurse conversations with callers that could jeopardize patient safety. The study was conducted as a descriptive and qualitative analysis, where a researcher paid five to six different visits to a group of six tele-nurses at their place of work to pay attention to and discuss their conversations with patients in stimulated recall meetings with the tele-nurses. The results of the study showed threats to patient safety according to the qualitative interpretation of the reflections and subsequent conversations may be linked to the surrounding community, the organization of telenursing, the tele-nurse, and the patient. The article provides detailed information for my paper on how telenursing can be a concern when it comes to patient safety. Edirippulige, S. (2011). Telenursing: Nursing Informatics in Practice. In Cashin, A., & Cook, R. 7 (Eds.), Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Informatics: Concepts and Applications (pp. 150161). IGI Global. http://doi:10.4018/978-1-60960-034-1.ch012 Edirippulige (2011) summarized the duties of nurses in the health care setting. The importance of nurses was emphasized. They are responsible for caring for patients, inform patients and families about common medical issues, and give guidance and emotional assistance to family members of the patient. Nurses are also in charge of keeping track of patients' medical records and conditions, assisting with laboratory testing and analysis, administering therapy and prescriptions, and assisting with patient follow-up and recovery. The author also stated that the nurses' common responsibilities include giving services to patients at home. Telenursing was described as the use of technologies for the provision of remote treatment. In addition, the author indicated that there is developing evidence on the use of information and communication technology in the health care facilities in encouraging greater quality of treatment. Also, for the use of telenursing methods to be successful in the healthcare setting, the nurse has to be prepared to use telecommunication methods. The author provides valuable information that can be used in my paper to support that telenursing promotes better quality of care. Darvish, A., Bahramnezhad, F., Keyhanian, S., & Navidhamidi, M. (2014). The role of nursing informatics on promoting quality of health care and the need for appropriate education. Global journal of health science, 6(6), 11–18. https://doi.org/10.5539/gjhs.v6n6p11 Darvish, Bahramnezhad, Keyhanian & Navidhamidi (2014) saw the importance to research the role of nurses and to stress the need for effective information technology education services to be integrated with the ever-increasing speed of technology. They used a selection 8 method centered mainly on nursing informatics and the significance of competence in the efficient use of information technology in all fields of the nursing profession. Healthcare promotion, advanced systems, the internet, and networks were also considered core aspects of nursing informatics adoption in a critical evaluation of new technologies. They made use of a comprehensive literature search such as: Pubmed, Google Scholar, Ovid, Science Direct, and SID, and also conducted a library search and retrieved a total of 135 articles. The result shows that there are benefits of incorporating information technology into all fields of nursing, including clinical practice, administration, curriculum, and science, as well as its effect on health care. It shows improved health care quality, more efficiency and better performance, and increase in the management of nursing outcomes. This article highlights the importance of information technology in the nursing practice, and this is useful for my paper. Sitton-Kent, L., Humphreys, C., & Miller, P. (2018). Supporting the spread of health technology in community services. British Journal of Community Nursing, 23(3), 118–122. https://doiorg.proxy-tu.researchport.umd.edu/10.12968/bjcn.2018.23.3.118 Sitton-Kent, Humphreys & Miller (2018) said that for several years, health technology has been regarded as a way for the NHS to save money while still improving patient safety. However, they indicate that there has been an uneven implementation of health technology in the NHS. The use of cellphone access to digital medical information, digital imagery, and online face-to-face appointments were the three main promising uses of health technology in community nursing discussed in this paper. The authors highlighted that there are some benefits to the patient outcomes, but a common documented obstacle to long-term implementation of technology such as EHRs is the inability to successfully interact with and share information within current processes in or between organizations. They suggested that 9 in order for an implementation of health technology to be successful and beneficial, each place participating in it must go through its own adaptation and learning process. This article is useful in my paper because the authors emphasized on the requirements that must be achieved for health technologies to be beneficial to patient care.
