: The number of persons who have to overcome extensive geographical distances for caring for their older parent(s), hereinafter referred to as long-distance caregiving relatives (LDCs), is rising. However, in the non-English-speaking Global North, little is known about the LDCs' health literacy and the design of tailor-made health promotion measures for this target-group. Using the example of nursing care discussion forums (NCDF), this paper reflects the requirements and (future) potential of professionally-lead support groups for LDCs on the case-study example of Upper Austria. : In order to approach this unexplored topic considering spatial-related aspects, a qualitative-explorative study design was chosen, focusing on the providers' perspective. A written survey among all NCDF-group leaders was carried out. : LDCs do not make use of NCDFs at present. It is considered that this is above all for time constraints, lack of information and location-based problems of fit. This applies for urban as well as rural contexts. : LDCs need more attention in public health. Suitable NCDFs have to be located in the LCDs' residential municipalities and have to fulfill different requirements from those of local caregiving relatives, particularly with regard to purpose and scope.
需要跨越广阔地理距离照顾年迈父母的人数正在上升，以下简称远程照护亲属（LDCs）。然而，在非英语国家的全球北方地区，人们对LDCs的健康素养以及针对这一目标群体量身定制的健康促进措施的设计了解甚少。本文以上奥地利州的护理讨论论坛（NCDF）为例，反映了专业引领的LDCs支持小组的要求和（未来）潜力。为了从空间相关方面探讨这个未被探索的主题，我们选择了定性探索性研究设计，重点关注提供者的视角。对所有NCDF小组组长进行了书面调查。目前，LDCs并未利用NCDF。据认为，这主要是由于时间限制、信息缺乏以及基于地点的适配问题。这在城市和农村环境中都适用。LDCs在公共卫生方面需要更多关注。合适的NCDF必须设在LDCs居住的市镇，并且必须满足与当地照护亲属不同的要求，特别是在目的和范围方面。
