The purpose of this scoping literature review was to understand what is known about how the rural profile influences beliefs regarding telehealth utilization. Rural nursing theory (RNT) provided a framework for the review. Search criteria were limited to peer-reviewed studies conducted in Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. A variety of search terms related to patient telehealth perceptions generated 213 unique articles, of which 10 met the inclusion criteria. Included studies incorporated qualitative methodologies and were from Australia, Canada, Sweden, or the United States. The review highlighted four themes related to the rural profile's influence on telehealth beliefs: importance of familiar relationships, concerns with privacy and confidentiality, acceptance of limited access to care, and resourcefulness and frugality. These themes echo concepts within RNT. Nurses and other health professionals must acknowledge the rural profile's influence on a person's decision to use telehealth in order to provide optimal care.
本次范围限定文献回顾的目的在于了解农村人口特征如何影响人们对远程医疗使用的看法。农村护理理论（RNT）为本次综述提供了一个框架。检索标准仅限于在欧洲、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰进行的同行评审研究。与患者远程医疗感知相关的各种检索词产生了 213 篇独特的文章，其中 10 篇符合纳入标准。纳入的研究采用了定性方法，来自澳大利亚、加拿大、瑞典或美国。本次综述强调了农村人口特征对远程医疗信念影响的四个主题：熟悉关系的重要性、对隐私和保密性的关注、对有限获得护理的接受程度，以及足智多谋和节俭。这些主题呼应了 RNT 中的概念。护士和其他卫生专业人员必须承认农村人口特征对个人使用远程医疗决策的影响，以便提供最佳护理。
