Tele-nursing awareness, needs, and related influences in T2DM patients: qualitative descriptive study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTele-nursing, which utilizes digital health tools, has the potential to enhance the management of Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). However, patients' awareness, needs, and barriers to using these services are not well understood. This study employed qualitative interviews to explore the perceptions of patients with T2DM towards tele-nursing and to identify factors influencing their adoption, with the aim of providing tailored strategies for effective service implementation.
methodsA descriptive qualitative research design was used. From June to August 2023, a purposive sampling method was used to select 20 T2DM patients from a hospital, following the principle of maximum variation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsFour main themes were identified: insufficient awareness and willingness to use tele-nursing, the need for tele-nursing services, facilitators of tele-nursing, and barriers to tele-nursing.
conclusionThe awareness of tele-nursing among T2DM patients needs significant improvement. Patients expressed clear demands for tele-nursing services, including health education, dietary guidance, blood sugar monitoring, and medication reminders. However, the adoption of tele-nursing is influenced by factors such as service accessibility, scope, technological challenges, and associated costs. Tele-nursing should address the specialized nursing needs of T2DM patients by leveraging remote technology to provide personalized and flexible care options that align with their evolving requirements.
