Telehealth transforms the healthcare system and provides the population with equal access to healthcare services at distance. This study aimed to investigate nursing students' perceptions toward telenursing. Students' knowledge, attitudes, advantages, disadvantages, barriers, and factors that affect the intention toward telenursing implementation were addressed. This study was conducted using a descriptive design. The study participants were 313 undergraduate nursing students. Data were gathered through a web-based survey from June to August 2022 and analyzed using SPSS version 22. Fifty-four-point-six percent (54.6%) of the students were male and 45.4% were female. Around one-fourth were internship students. Most students had access to the internet 97.4%. The results revealed that nursing students have positive perceptions toward telenursing. Their overall competencies in terms of knowledge, proficiency, awareness, and familiarity were moderate. Students raised some disadvantages and difficulties regarding telenursing; meanwhile, more advantages and suggestions to overcome the disadvantages were reported. It is of utmost importance that nursing education integrates telenursing content and practice to prepare future nurses for the successful implementation of telenursing. More research is still needed to examine the impact of telenursing on nursing practice. Nursing administrators must develop appropriate and prompt interventions to respond to the dramatically changing healthcare environment. |
