Telenursing in cardiac care leverages technology to support self-care and optimize outcomes for heart failure patients during and beyond the pandemic. This study aims to explore nurse's knowledge and attitudes towards telenursing in cardiac care, examine the correlation between knowledge and attitude, and associate knowledge levels with selected demographic variables.
A cross-sectional study was conducted, and 149 nurses from Prince Sultan Cardiac Care Center hospitals were randomly selected. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire, including socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, and attitudes about telenursing.
The mean age of the nurses was 36.17 ± 6.5 years. Most nurses (64.4%) held a bachelor's degree, with 71.8% working as staff nurses. Nearly half (47.6%) had 6-9 years of professional experience. Among them, 15.4% had good knowledge, 63.8% had average knowledge, and 20.8% had poor knowledge, with a total mean knowledge score of 14.92 ± 3.2. Overall, nurses had positive attitudes towards telenursing ( < 0.05). Knowledge scores were significantly associated with age, education, and professional experience ( < 0.05).
Strengthening nurse's understanding of telenursing is vital. Focused educational and training programs are imperative to enhance knowledge about telenursing in cardiac care and alleviate the healthcare system's economic burden.
心脏护理中的远程护理利用技术支持自我护理，并在大流行期间及之后优化心力衰竭患者的治疗效果。本研究旨在探讨护士对心脏护理中远程护理的知识和态度，检验知识与态度之间的相关性，并将知识水平与选定的人口统计学变量相关联。
进行了一项横断面研究，从苏丹王子心脏护理中心医院随机抽取了149名护士。通过一份结构化问卷收集数据，包括社会人口学特征、对远程护理的知识和态度。
护士的平均年龄为36.17±6.5岁。大多数护士（64.4%）拥有学士学位，71.8%为普通护士。近一半（47.6%）有6至9年的专业经验。其中，15.4%知识水平良好，63.8%知识水平中等，20.8%知识水平较差，知识总平均分14.92±3.2。总体而言，护士对远程护理持积极态度（P<0.05）。知识得分与年龄、教育程度和专业经验显著相关（P<0.05）。
加强护士对远程护理的理解至关重要。必须开展有针对性的教育和培训项目，以提高心脏护理中远程护理的知识水平，并减轻医疗系统的经济负担。
