Ten studies were included in the qualitative synthesis conducted as described by Braun and Clarke. From the synthesis, a main theme emerged: Nurses' uncertainty toward telemedicine is a risk toward the use of video-consultations and home-monitoring. The essence of the findings range from nurses' positive experiences to their frustration concerning the implementation process and the lack of technical support for clinicians and patients. Nurses often felt frustration and uncertainty about the quality of delivered care through virtual consultations. Working with technology in caring for patients with cardiac disease, including video-consultations and home-monitoring, nurses experienced a sense of insecurity. Insecurity was identified as a lack of technological knowledge, nurses' feelings of apathy, poorer observation through a video-consultation, and the lack of organizational support.</p>","PeriodicalId":49730,"journal":{"name":"Nursing & Health Sciences","volume":"26 4","pages":"e13180"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142511727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four themes were generated from the interview data: \"shared decision making\"; \"changing expectations\"; \"IOL experience\"; and \"informed consent.\" Women's expectations of, and preferences for, an IOL changed during pregnancy and were influenced by their perception of risk to the fetus, indication for the procedure, and trust in clinicians. Information that was personalized to the woman to include practical aspects, risks, and alternative options was rarely provided. Overall, women reported that they did not experience the degree of control they preferred when planning an IOL.

The feasibility study involved 53 community-dwelling AwND engaging in RE sessions for 30 min, once- or twice-weekly, over 12 weeks. Feasibility was assessed through recruitment rates, adherence, attrition, and participant feedback. The study measured blood pressure (BP), walking speed (WS), and physical activity level (PAL) at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Repeated measures ANOVA and the Friedman tests were used to test for significant differences across the time points. The study demonstrated high recruitment (70.59%) and retention (98.1%) rates, with most participants (76.9%) preferring once-weekly sessions due to time constraints. There were no reported injuries or adverse events. Most participants were older adults (50%), females (67.3%), and retired (55.8%). Significantly lower resting BP (p < 0.001), higher WS (p < 0.001), and PAL (p = 0.000) were observed after 12 weeks of RE.
