Abstract

This study aimed to identify the requirements for implementing a virtual care programme for patients with chronic wounds. It was conducted in two consecutive phases: (1) scoping review, (2) descriptive qualitative study. In the first phase, texts published in English until 2024 were identified using international databases. Data analysis was carried out using textual content analysis. In the second phase, 12 participants from Iranian wound care clinics participated. Data were collected through focus group discussion and analysed using conventional content analysis. Integration of both phases was conducted in the data analysis stage. The most important requirements for the implementation of the virtual care programme for patients with chronic wounds were identified in five main categories, including providing a basic infrastructure for virtual care, changing users' views on acceptance, the presence of competent specialised wound therapists, the necessity of teamwork and interprofessional cooperation of specialists, and the existence of a suitable platform equipped with video conferencing software. The findings of this study provide good practical guidance for policymakers and health system decision-makers to develop and implement virtual care programmes in the wound and other health care domains.

慢性创伤患者虚拟护理程序的实施要求:一项定性研究
本研究旨在确定对慢性伤口患者实施虚拟护理方案的要求。研究分两个连续阶段进行:(1)范围审查,(2)描述性定性研究。在第一阶段,使用国际数据库识别到2024年出版的英文文本。数据分析采用文本内容分析法。在第二阶段,来自伊朗伤口护理诊所的12名参与者参加了研究。通过焦点小组讨论收集数据,并使用常规内容分析进行分析。在数据分析阶段进行了两个阶段的整合。对慢性伤口患者实施虚拟护理计划的最重要要求被确定为五个主要类别,包括为虚拟护理提供基本的基础设施,改变用户对接受的看法,有能力的专业伤口治疗师的存在,团队合作和专家跨专业合作的必要性,以及配备视频会议软件的合适平台的存在。本研究结果为决策者和卫生系统决策者在伤口和其他卫生保健领域制定和实施虚拟护理方案提供了良好的实践指导。
