The diffusion of telehealth into hospital care is still low, partially because of a lack of telehealth competence among nurses. In an earlier study, we reported on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) nurses require for the use of telehealth. The current study describes hospital nurses' confidence in possessing these telehealth KSAs.
In a cross-sectional study, we invited 3,543 nurses from three hospitals in the Netherlands to rate their self-confidence in 31 telehealth KSAs on a 5-point Likert scale, using an online questionnaire.
A total of 1,017 nurses responded to the survey. Nine KSAs were scored with a median value of 4.0, 19 KSAs with a median value of 3.0, and three KSAs with a median value of 2.0.
Given that hospital nurses have self-confidence in only nine of the 31 essential telehealth KSAs, continuing education in additional KSAs is recommended to support nurses in gaining confidence in using telehealth. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2019;50(1):26-34.].
远程医疗在医院护理中的普及程度仍然较低，部分原因是护士缺乏远程医疗能力。在一项早期研究中，我们报告了护士使用远程医疗所需的知识、技能和态度（KSAs）。本研究描述了医院护士对具备这些远程医疗KSAs的信心。
在一项横断面研究中，我们邀请了荷兰三家医院的3543名护士，使用在线问卷，以5分李克特量表对他们在31项远程医疗KSAs方面的自信程度进行评分。
共有1017名护士回复了调查。9项KSAs的中位数评分为4.0，19项KSAs的中位数评分为3.0，3项KSAs的中位数评分为2.0。
鉴于医院护士仅对31项基本远程医疗KSAs中的9项有信心，建议开展更多KSAs的继续教育，以帮助护士增强使用远程医疗的信心。[《护理学继续教育杂志》。2019；50(1)：26 - 34。]
