Nurses' perspectives on remote healthcare delivery and its implications for practice and education: qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 nurses’ perspectives on remote healthcare delivery, focusing on perceived opportunities, challenges, and implications for nursing practice and education.
backgroundThe rapid digital transformation of healthcare has expanded the use of remote healthcare systems, reshaping how nurses deliver, coordinate, and document care. As key providers of patient-centered care, nurses play a critical role in the integration of telehealth services. Understanding their experiences is essential to inform educational preparation, workforce planning, and policy development for sustainable digital health practice.
designA descriptive qualitative design was adopted.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 registered nurses working in diverse clinical and community settings across Turkiye between February and July 2025. Data were collected via online video interviews and analyzed inductively using Braun and Clarke’s six-phase approach to thematic analysis. Reporting followed the COREQ checklist.
resultsSix main themes were identified: Perceived benefits for patients and health systems; Professional opportunities and motivation; Technological and organisational requirements; Legal, ethical, and privacy concerns; Barriers related to users; and Clinical appropriateness and boundaries. Nurses emphasized that remote healthcare improves continuity of care, supports early intervention, and strengthens chronic disease management. However, limited infrastructure, workload concerns, ethical uncertainties, and digital literacy gaps remain significant challenges. The need for structured training, clear accountability, and equitable access was consistently highlighted.
conclusionNurses view remote healthcare as a transformative approach that enhances patient outcomes and extends professional roles beyond traditional hospital boundaries. Yet, its effectiveness depends on robust digital systems, comprehensive education, and policy frameworks that safeguard both patients and professionals. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable. This research is a qualitative study.
