Nurse Education in Practice
|November 29, 2017
Summary
Pre-licensure nursing students gained confidence in telenursing skills through an innovative simulation. The study highlights the need for nursing education to adapt to remote patient care technologies.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Telehealth Technology
- Geriatric Care
Background:
- Telenursing is increasingly vital for remote patient management.
- Traditional nursing education requires updates to include telehealth.
- Homebound geriatric patients benefit from remote nursing interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate an innovative simulation for teaching telenursing skills to pre-licensure nursing students.
- To assess student confidence in delivering nursing care via telepresence technology.
- To understand how students adapt communication for remote patient interactions.
Main Methods:
- An innovative simulation utilizing telepresence technology was developed.
- Pre-licensure nursing students (N=73) participated in a simulated home visit.
- Students provided telenursing care, including screening, assessment, and education, to a geriatric patient.
Main Results:
- Students reported increased confidence in telenursing skills and telepresence technology use.
- Participants modified and improved communication strategies to overcome technology-related barriers.
- The simulation effectively prepared students for remote patient care delivery.
Conclusions:
- Simulation-based education enhances nursing students' readiness for telenursing.
- Adapting communication is key for effective remote patient care.
- Nursing curricula must integrate telehealth education to meet evolving healthcare demands.

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
