Knowledge, attitude and readiness toward telehealth among nursing staff: a cross sectional study

Research Abstract

Abstract
Background Telehealth has emerged as a promising solution for improving global healthcare delivery by leveraging
telecommunications and information technology in remote nursing practice.
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and readiness of nursing staff toward telehealth.
Methods A cross-sectional study design was employed, conducted across three hospitals affiliated with Assiut
University: El-Rajehy, Al Orman, and the Neurology and Psychiatry Hospital. A convenience sample of 250 staff nurses
participated in the study. Data were collected using four tools: a demographic and work-related characteristics
questionnaire, the Health Professionals’ Knowledge toward Telemedicine Technology scale, the Health Professionals’
Attitude toward Telemedicine Technology scale, and the Telehealth Readiness Assessment Tool (TRA).
Results The study identified a significant positive correlation between nurses’ knowledge and their attitude and
readiness for telehealth. Multiple regression analysis revealed that knowledge was a significant predictor of both
attitude and readiness. Nurses with good knowledge demonstrated a higher proportion of positive attitudes (47.8%)
compared to those with poor knowledge (2.7%). Notably, nurses with poor knowledge were more likely to report low
readiness for telehealth (58.0%) compared to those with good knowledge (26.8%).
Conclusions These findings highlight the critical role of knowledge in shaping nurses’ attitudes and readiness for
telehealth. Nurses with higher levels of knowledge were more likely to exhibit positive attitudes and higher readiness
for telehealth implementation. Based on these results, it is essential to develop and implement comprehensive
educational programs to enhance nursing staff’s knowledge and attitudes toward telehealth.
