ALCAZAR, B  e  AMBROSIO, L. Tele-nursing in patients with chronic illness: a systematic review. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2019, vol.42, n.2, pp.187-197.  Epub 02-Mar-2020. ISSN 1137-6627.  https://dx.doi.org/10.23938/assn.0645.

At present there is a strong case for using new technologies, such as tele-nursing, to provide individualised and integral care to patients who live with a chronic process. The aim is to identify the main characteristics of tele-nursing and the factors that facilitate and hinder its implantation. Systematic review of the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Cinhal, Psycinfo, Cuiden, Dialnet and Scielo during the 2008-2019 period. The 34 articles selected identified virtual support, telephone monitoring and electronic devices as the main characteristics of tele-nursing; the patient’s profile (not young, with a low socio-economic and educational level) and the resistance of the nursing professionals were the barriers identified; while the new technological age was identified as a factor facilitating its implementation. The provision of greater training for nursing professionals to make them aware of the main characteristics of tele-nursing is essential for its acceptance and integration and consequent implantation in daily clinical practice.
