Bu araştırmanın amacı, sağlık sisteminin önemli unsurlarından birisi olan hemşirelerin son zamanlarda kullanımı günden güne artış gösteren teletıpa ilişkin bilgi düzeyi ile teletıp istekliliği arasındaki ilişkinin bilimsel alanyazına kazandırılmasıdır. Araştırmanın evrenini İstanbul ilinde kamu sağlık kurumlarında sağlık hizmeti sunumu gerçekleştiren hemşireler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden olan anket yöntemi tercih edilmiştir (Etik Kurul Raporu: İstanbul Esenyurt Üniversitesi Girişimsel Olmayan Etik Kurulundan 18.04.2022 tarih ve 2022/04-4 nolu karar ile alınmıştır). Anketler hem çevrimiçi hem de yüz yüze yöntemle toplanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamına alınan hemşire sayısı 346 dır. Değişkenlere güvenilirlik analizi uygulanmıştır. Teletıp bilgisinin güvenilirlik katsayısı 0,914, teletıp istekliliği değişkeninin güvenilirlik katsayısı 0,883 olarak hesap edilmiştir. Ölçeğe ait genel güvenilirlik katsayısı ise 0,908 olarak bulunmuştur. Güvenilir olduğu tespit edildikten sonra demografik bulgularına göre araştırma verileri analize tabii tutulmuştur. Araştırmanın demografik bulguları alt değişkenlere ayrılarak da analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada doğrulayıcı faktör analizini tespit etmek amacıyla Path (Yol) analizi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonrasında araştırmada kullanılan modelin uyum değerlerinin iyi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın iki değişkeni olan Teletıp Bilgisi ile Teletıp İstekliliği arasındaki ilişkiyi tespit etmek için ise korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda her iki değişken arasında istatistiki bir ilişkinin olduğu ve ilişkinin derecesinin de 0,608 olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

A Study on The Determination of The Relationships Between Nurses' Telemedicine Knowledge and Telemedicine Willingness

Öz

The aim of this research is to bring the relationship between the level of knowledge about telemedicine, which is one of the important elements of the health system, and the willingness to telemedicine, which is increasing day by day, to the scientific literature. The population of the research consists of nurses who provide health services in public health institutions in Istanbul. The survey method, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was preferred in the study (Ethics Committee Report: It was obtained from the Non-Interventional Ethics Committee of Istanbul Esenyurt University with the decision dated 18.04.2022 and numbered 2022/04-4). Questionnaires were collected both online and face-to-face. The number of nurses included in the research is 346. Reliability analysis was applied to the variables. The reliability coefficient of telemedicine knowledge was calculated as 0.914, and the reliability coefficient of the telemedicine willingness variable was calculated as 0.883. The general reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.908. After it was determined that it was reliable, the research data were analyzed according to the demographic findings. The demographic findings of the study were also analyzed by dividing them into sub-variables. Path analysis was applied to determine confirmatory factor analysis in the research. After the analysis, it was determined that the fit values of the model used in the research were good. Correlation analysis was applied to determine the relationship between Telemedicine Knowledge and Telemedicine Willingness, which are the two variables of the research. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there was a statistical relationship between both variables and the degree of the relationship was 0.608.
