Abstract:
Limited research explores the effectiveness of educational interventions in meeting telehealth technology competencies. A combined didactic and simulation intervention was implemented with 66 prelicensure and 15 nurse practitioner students. Telehealth knowledge, confidence, and attitudes were evaluated using the Telemedicine Objective Structured Clinical Exam survey. Results were analyzed using descriptive and inferential strategies, and responses to an open-ended question were content analyzed. Survey scores significantly increased from pre- to post-intervention. Learners recognized the value of telehealth and the educational intervention. This effective and well-received intervention can be used by schools of nursing to facilitate student attainment of telehealth competencies.
