Knowledge, attitude and readiness toward telehealth among nursing staff: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundTelehealth has emerged as a promising solution for improving global healthcare delivery by leveraging telecommunications and information technology in remote nursing practice.
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and readiness of nursing staff toward telehealth.
methodsA cross-sectional study design was employed, conducted across three hospitals affiliated with Assiut University: El-Rajehy, Al Orman, and the Neurology and Psychiatry Hospital. A convenience sample of 250 staff nurses participated in the study. Data were collected using four tools: a demographic and work-related characteristics questionnaire, the Health Professionals' Knowledge toward Telemedicine Technology scale, the Health Professionals' Attitude toward Telemedicine Technology scale, and the Telehealth Readiness Assessment Tool (TRA).
resultsThe study identified a significant positive correlation between nurses' knowledge and their attitude and readiness for telehealth. Multiple regression analysis revealed that knowledge was a significant predictor of both attitude and readiness. Nurses with good knowledge demonstrated a higher proportion of positive attitudes (47.8%) compared to those with poor knowledge (2.7%). Notably, nurses with poor knowledge were more likely to report low readiness for telehealth (58.0%) compared to those with good knowledge (26.8%).
conclusionsThese findings highlight the critical role of knowledge in shaping nurses' attitudes and readiness for telehealth. Nurses with higher levels of knowledge were more likely to exhibit positive attitudes and higher readiness for telehealth implementation. Based on these results, it is essential to develop and implement comprehensive educational programs to enhance nursing staff's knowledge and attitudes toward telehealth.
