Healthcare Professionals Perspectives on Telemedicine for Patients With Chronic Diseases: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Nursing & health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo explore healthcare professionals' perspectives on telemedicine, specifically video consultations and digital home monitoring, in specialized care for chronic heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study focused on opportunities and barriers in hospital and primary care.
methodsA qualitative study with semi-structured interviews within a phenomenological-hermeneutic framework. The study was conducted in Denmark, where 12 participants (eight nurses, four physicians) were interviewed between May and September 2022. Half held leadership roles. Nine worked in hospitals, and three in primary care. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis, adhering to Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines.
resultsThree key themes were generated through interpretive analysis: (1) balancing challenges and benefits of virtual care, (2) strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration, and (3) empowering patients through telemedicine. Video consultations were well received but required user confidence. Digital home monitoring faced skepticism, particularly regarding patient-measured data, but improved self-care and decision-making. Cultural gaps hindered cross-sectoral collaboration.
conclusionUnfamiliarity with telemedicine and cross-sectoral gaps is a key barrier, highlighting the need for training and mutual understanding. Addressing these issues is crucial for successful implementation and improved patient care.
