Tele Intensive Care Nursing: A Systematic Review
Abstract
Objective: This systematic review aims to examine studies related to tele-intensive care nursing services systematically.
Methods: The keywords “Tele-intensive care” and “Tele-nursing” were used during the research. A literature search was conducted from January 2015 to July 2023, including databases such as PubMed (n=84), Cochrane (n=56), Google Scholar (n=375), and Science Direct (n=50). A total of 565 studies were identified, and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 6 studies with accessible full texts were included in the review. PRISMA reporting guidelines were employed in this systematic review.
Results: The literature review revealed a total of 6 studies (n:6) that met the research criteria. These studies had descriptive (n:4), qualitative (n:1), retrospective and prospective (n:1) designs and were published in 2016 (n:2), 2017 (n:3) and 2021 (n:1). The sample groups of these studies included nurses, patients or other healthcare professionals. The contents of these studies include the evaluation of nurses' perceptions, opinions, satisfaction or competencies in providing effective patient care regarding tele-intensive care.
Conclusion: The findings of the studies indicate that tele intensive care improves patient and healthcare worker satisfaction, facilitates consultations and transfer of patient information, and reduces the need for patient referrals to different hospitals.
