Abstract
Introduction: Technological advancements have transformed nursing care, quality, and education across the globe. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the inventions and adoption of mobile technologies such as an e-health application (app) called SEHA continue to revolutionize the healthcare system in the country.
Purpose: The present systematic review is aimed at examining the technological impact on nursing in Saudi Arabia. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of telehealth and its role in nursing quality, nursing practice, and education.
Methods: The present study adopted a literature review methodology by deriving data from journal articles from different databases, for example, Web Science, Google Scholar, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases. Inclusive years for the search ranged from 2016 to 2022. A total of eight articles were found dovetailing to meet the research objectives and answer research questions.
Result: After appraising and analyzing the research, the present review found that (Abolfotouh et al., 2019) telehealth in nursing is loosely researched; (Ahmed et al., 2021) telehealth impacts nursing practice and quality by fostering nurse-patient communication promoting positive outcomes, seamless nursing care, and positive experiences; and (Albahri et al., 2021) telehealth and telemedicine is a central tenet of contemporary nursing education and practice.
Conclusion: From these findings, this analysis informed three key recommendations: the need to integrate telehealth into the nursing curriculum, telehealth training, and reskilling among healthcare workers (HCWs) in KSA and further primary studies focusing predominantly on telenursing. Overall, telehealth remains a fundamental transformation of nursing practice that forms a central ideology in the contemporary nursing process.
技术进步已经改变了全球范围内的护理、质量和教育。在沙特阿拉伯王国(KSA)，名为SEHA的电子医疗应用程序(app)等移动技术的发明和采用继续革新该国的医疗保健系统。目的:本系统综述旨在研究沙特阿拉伯护理技术的影响。该研究提供了一个全面的分析远程医疗及其在护理质量，护理实践和教育中的作用。方法:本研究采用文献综述法，从Web Science、Google Scholar、CINAHL、MEDLINE和PubMed等不同数据库的期刊文章中获取数据。搜索年份从2016年到2022年不等。共发现八篇文章相吻合，以满足研究目标和回答研究问题。结果:经过对研究的评价和分析，本综述发现(Abolfotouh et al.， 2019)护理中的远程医疗研究较少;(Ahmed et al.， 2021)远程医疗通过促进护患沟通，促进积极结果、无缝护理和积极体验，影响护理实践和质量;(Albahri et al.， 2021)远程医疗和远程医疗是当代护理教育和实践的核心原则。结论:根据这些发现，本分析提出了三个关键建议:需要将远程医疗纳入护理课程、远程医疗培训、在沙特阿拉伯的卫生保健工作者(HCWs)中进行再培训，以及进一步主要关注远程护理的初步研究。总的来说，远程医疗仍然是护理实践的根本转变，在当代护理过程中形成了一种核心意识形态。
期刊介绍：
The overall aim of the International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications is to bring together science and applications of medical practice and medical care at a distance as well as their supporting technologies such as, computing, communications, and networking technologies with emphasis on telemedicine techniques and telemedicine applications. It is directed at practicing engineers, academic researchers, as well as doctors, nurses, etc. Telemedicine is an information technology that enables doctors to perform medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, as well as medical education, away from patients. For example, doctors can remotely examine patients via remote viewing monitors and sound devices, and/or sampling physiological data using telecommunication. Telemedicine technology is applied to areas of emergency healthcare, videoconsulting, telecardiology, telepathology, teledermatology, teleophthalmology, teleoncology, telepsychiatry, teledentistry, etc. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications will highlight the continued growth and new challenges in telemedicine, applications, and their supporting technologies, for both application development and basic research. Papers should emphasize original results or case studies relating to the theory and/or applications of telemedicine. Tutorial papers, especially those emphasizing multidisciplinary views of telemedicine, are also welcome. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications employs a paperless, electronic submission and evaluation system to promote a rapid turnaround in the peer-review process.
