Telehealth and telenursing are becoming the new reality in studying nursing. Little is known whether undergraduate nursing students receive adequate education on telenursing for patient care. The aim for this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of nursing students toward telenursing.
Students of nursing faculties from medical universities in Poland were invited to complete a survey about telehealth and telenursing. The survey was conducted utilizing a Web-based surveying platform ( www.mini-ankiety.pl ).
We surveyed 308 undergraduate students of nursing faculty-291 females (94%) and 17 males (6%)-from medical universities in Poland. There were 116 students in their first year (course) (38%) and 96 students each in the second and third years (31%). Most of the students (220 [71%]) in the study group were in the age range from 20 to 23 years. The accurate definition of telemedicine was identified by 251 (82%) respondents. The definition of telenursing was recognized properly by 230 (75%) respondents. Of the students, 207 (67%) would anticipate telenursing service implementation into the national healthcare system, and 214 (69.49%) would appreciate the addition of telenursing classes to the curriculum. Students from a few universities showed significantly higher willingness to introduce telenursing classes into nursing curriculum and the intention to use telenursing services in their future nursing practice. The difference among universities could be influenced by regional e-health initiatives. This study has shown the rise of trust in technology along with the increase in the year of nursing study.
The current generation of university students of nursing seems to be well educated in medical informatics and technology use. They are better prepared for and open to information society membership, including the practice of telehealth. The advancement in university education has an influence on positive attitudes toward telenursing and may become a milestone in the development of e-health in Poland.
远程医疗和远程护理正成为护理学研究的新现实。目前尚不清楚本科护理学生在患者护理方面是否接受过足够的远程护理教育。本研究旨在评估护理学生对远程护理的知识和态度。
邀请波兰医科大学护理学院的学生完成一项关于远程医疗和远程护理的调查。该调查是利用基于网络的调查平台（www.mini-ankiety.pl）进行的。
我们调查了来自波兰医科大学护理学院的 308 名本科护理学生-291 名女性（94%）和 17 名男性（6%）。一年级（课程）有 116 名学生（38%），二年级和三年级各有 96 名学生（31%）。研究组中的大多数学生（220 [71%]）年龄在 20 至 23 岁之间。251 名（82%）受访者准确识别了远程医学的定义。230 名（75%）受访者正确认识了远程护理的定义。在学生中，207 名（67%）预计将远程护理服务纳入国家医疗保健系统，214 名（69.49%）将赞赏在课程中增加远程护理课程。来自几所大学的学生表示愿意将远程护理课程纳入护理课程，并希望在未来的护理实践中使用远程护理服务的意愿明显更高。大学之间的差异可能受到区域电子健康计划的影响。本研究表明，随着护理学习年限的增加，对技术的信任度有所提高。
当前一代的护理专业大学生似乎在医学信息学和技术使用方面受到了良好的教育。他们为加入信息社会做好了更好的准备，包括实践远程医疗。大学教育的进步对远程护理的积极态度产生了影响，并可能成为波兰电子健康发展的一个里程碑。
