Nurses' experience with telecare: a qualitative analysis of perceptions and implications for caring and the nursing profession.
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 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundIn Italy, telecare has experienced significant growth in recent years, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. This modality helps overcome geographic and time barriers, proving to be a valuable tool for ensuring access to care and improving the quality of life for patients. However, implementing telecare requires several challenges for nurses such as difficulty to adapt to a remote relationship, lack of training and adequate technological resources, and concerns about data security and privacy. The aim of the study is to explore nurses' experience with telecare and their perceptions about its positive and negative implications for caring and the profession.
methodsA qualitative study with semi-structured interviews was carried out by involving ten nurses working with telecare service from the Local Health Authority of a city in a central-Italy region.
resultsFour main themes emerged: (1) the benefits of telecare, (2) the disadvantages of telecare, (3) opportunities for professional growth, and (4) challenges in telecare.
conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that effective implementation of telecare should take into account not only its potential benefits for patients and nurses but also the challenges related to the nurse-patient relationship and technological barriers. To improve healthcare it is important to invest in training, develop accessible technologies, share patient data and integrate telecare into traditional care models, in order to foster an holistic and individualized approach.
