Sample: A COVID-19 public health survey was distributed via social media and healthcare clinics in the tri-state region of central Appalachia. Survey responses were limited to adults aged ≥18 years who consented to participate in the survey that self-identified as an individual with one or more chronic medical conditions (n=195). Method: Simple descriptive statistics including frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations (SDs) were calculated for variables of interest both overall and by subgroups of interest. Chi-squared tests were used to compare categorical outcomes between groups of interest, while two-sample t-tests were used for continuous outcomes. Significance for all tests was determined using an α level of 0.05. Findings: There is no statistically significant relationship between respondents with regard to using telehealth services, satisfaction rates related to telehealth use, or reasons for electing not to use telehealth services during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there was a trending statistical relationship between county status and the use of telehealth services in Appalachia with those counties doing economically better being more likely to use telehealth services as compared to those fairing less well (p=0.053). Findings also suggest that people living in urban areas of Appalachia were more likely to be satisfied using telehealth services than those living in non-urban areas of Appalachia (p=0.01). Conclusions: Research is still limited as to how the expansion of broadband capabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic has benefited those residing in Appalachia in terms of managing chronic","PeriodicalId":56353,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health Care","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43033097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contribution of various structural and sociodemographic factors to this disparity has been well studied. However, research on the impact of the rural profile on health outcomes is understudied, in part because what it means to “be rural” has not been well defined nor operationalized. Methods: Walker and Avant’s traditional concept analysis method was used Findings: The rural profile was defined as the set of personal attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that are typically informed by the structural and demographic elements found in less densely populated areas. The attributes of the rural profile are self-reliance, close community and family ties, and an emphasis on place. Observable indicators for each of these attributes based on previously published research are discussed. Conclusions: While conceptualizing the rural profile is challenging, it is imperative to define and operationalize this concept in order to better address the health needs of rural people and communities.","PeriodicalId":56353,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health Care","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43703927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such models of care have also been positively correlated with an improvement in pediatric asthma outcomes. These models of care were historically implemented to improve access to healthcare for patients living in rural populations. During the pandemic, such services were employed to improve access to care to everyone as they practiced social distancing to slow the spread of covid-19. The pandemic levelled the playing field and made access to care a problem for not only rural populations, but a problem for everyone. In order to continue insurer reimbursements for telehealth and school-based healthcare services, research is needed in support of these healthcare models.","PeriodicalId":56353,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health Care","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45126961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
