Abstract
Telenursing has revolutionized healthcare delivery, enabling nurses to provide comprehensive care remotely. Nurses' proficiency in telenursing is crucial for delivering quality care. This study aims to assess the influence of an educational brochure on nurses' knowledge, perception, and attitude towards telenursing in isolation hospitals.
Subjects and Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was employed for this study. The participants included all available nurses (n=120) working in wards across hospitals in Najran who consented to participate. Three tools were used: a nurses' knowledge questionnaire on telenursing, a nurses' attitude scale towards telenursing, and a nurses' perception scale towards telenursing.
Results: The study revealed significant enhancements in nurses' knowledge, perception, and attitude towards telenursing post-intervention (p ≤ 0.001). The educational brochure demonstrated a positive impact on nurses' understanding and acceptance of telenursing.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that the educational brochure effectively improved nurses' knowledge, perception, and attitude regarding telenursing. Future research should involve a larger and more diverse sample, including various healthcare professionals, to enhance the integration of telenursing into clinical practice and further explore optimal strategies for telenursing education.
