Abstract:

This systematic review evaluates the telenursing interventions and their efficiency in patient care. This study was conducted using scientific search engines such as Ulakbim Medical Data Base, Turkish Medline Data Base, National Thesis Center, Turkish Citation Index, Academic Index. As determined, keywords were searched in several combinations. A total of five articles that met the inclusion criteria were involved in the evaluation. This systematic review shows that the studies on this issue are very limited in terms of quantitative perspective but the results are positive. In this context, it is suggested that the number of randomized controlled studies which are evaluating the effectiveness of the care with tele nursing practices are increased and similar studies are planned with various patient groups.
