Abstract

Tele-nursing is defined as “the use of communication technologies in nursing to improve patient care”. Among the
tele-nursing practices; there are some other terms such as tele-pediatric, tele-rehabilitation, tele-triage, tele-trauma,
tele-psychology, tele-cardiology, tele-home care, tele-forensic care and tele-intensive care. Pediatric nurses make use
of the electronic information and communication technology of the tele-rehabilitation service, enabling patients and
caregivers to access rehabilitation services remotely. In particular, it facilitates the continuity of education. Continuity
of follow-up is ensured through regular communication. Through this system, it is easier to monitor the progress in
tele-rehabilitation continuously and to make changes in the treatment program immediately. Therefore, pediatric
nurses should support their roles and responsibilities in the telerehabilitation process. In addition, it is recommended
to organize seminars and workshops to increase awareness among pediatric nurses.

Çocuk Hastalarda Telerehabilitasyon ve Pediatri Hemşiresinin Sorumlulukları

Abstract

Tele-hemşirelik; “Hasta bakımını geliştirmek için hemşirelikte iletişim teknolojilerinin kullanılmasıdır” şeklinde
tanımlamaktadır. Tele-hemşirelik uygulamaları arasında; tele-pediatrik, tele-rehabilitasyon başta olmak üzere teletriyaj,
tele-travma, tele-psikoloji, tele-kardiyoloji, tele-evde bakım, tele-adli bakım ve tele-yoğun bakım yer
almaktadır. Pediatri hemşireleri tele-rehabilitasyon hizmetinin elektronik bilgi ve iletişim teknolojisinden
yararlanarak hastaların, bakım vericilerin rehabilitasyon hizmetine uzaktan erişmesini sağlamaktadır. Özellikle
eğitimin devamlılığının sağlanmasını kolaylaştırmaktadır. Düzenli olarak iletişimde bulunulması yoluyla izlemin de
sürekliliği sağlanmaktadır. Bu sistem aracılığıyla telerehabilitasyondaki gelişimin sürekli olarak izlenebilmesi ve
tedavi programında değişikliklerin hemen yapılabilmesini kolaylaşmaktadır. Bu nedenle pediatri hemşireleri
telerehabilitasyon sürecindeki rol ve sorumluluklarını desteklemelidir. Ek olarak pediatri hemşireleri arasında
farkındalığı artırmak için seminer ve çalıştayların düzenlenmesi önerilmektedir.
