Abstract

The present study aimed to explore the perspectives of older adults and health providers on cardiac rehabilitation care provided virtually during COVID-19. A qualitative exploratory methodology was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 older adults and 6 healthcare providers. Five themes emerged from the data: (1) Lack of emotional intimacy when receiving virtual care, (2) Inadequacy of virtual platforms, (3) Saving time with virtual care, (4) Virtual care facilitated accessibility, and (5) Loss of connections with patients and colleagues. Given that virtual care continues to be implemented, and in some instances touted as an optimal option for the delivery of cardiac rehabilitation, it is critical to address the needs of older adults living with cardiovascular disease and their healthcare providers. This is particularly crucial related to issues accessing and using technology, as well as older adults' need to build trust and emotional connection with their providers.

COVID-19 期间的虚拟护理：心脏康复环境中老年人及其医疗服务提供者的观点。

本研究旨在探讨老年人和医疗服务提供者对 COVID-19 期间虚拟提供的心脏康复护理的看法。研究采用了定性探索方法。对 15 名老年人和 6 名医疗服务提供者进行了半结构化访谈。从数据中得出了五个主题：（1）接受虚拟治疗时缺乏情感上的亲密感；（2）虚拟平台的不足；（3）虚拟治疗节省了时间；（4）虚拟治疗促进了可及性；（5）失去了与患者和同事的联系。鉴于虚拟医疗在继续实施，并在某些情况下被吹捧为提供心脏康复的最佳选择，因此解决患有心血管疾病的老年人及其医疗服务提供者的需求至关重要。这一点对于技术的获取和使用问题以及老年人与医疗服务提供者建立信任和情感联系的需求尤为重要。
