Abstract

This systematic review aims to answer the following question: What is the impact of telenursing on nursing practice and education? Any article that was written in English and published in PubMed and Computers Informatics Nursing (CIN) journal from January 2012 to February 2016 discussing the impact of telenursing on nursing practice and education were included, while any opinion and review literature was excluded. The results show that there are four themes covered by the literature: 1. Impact of telenursing intervention using telephone and/ or videoconferencing on satisfaction and health outcomes; 2. Association of the patients' comorbidity characteristics with nursing utilization of telenursing and/or withdrawal from telehealth service during a telenursing care episode; 3. Tele-intensive care unit (tele-ICU) nursing and developing its competencies; and finally 4. Training on telenursing. Articles on Intensive Care Unit telenursing were found to be the most covered specialty/area of nursing in using telenursing. More research is still needed to show the impact of telenursing on nursing education as well as other specialties of nursing practice.
