March 7, 2025 updated by: Kubra Gulırmak, Ondokuz Mayıs University

Principal Investigator, Doktor Researcher Assistant, Department of Psychiatric Nursing

This research was conducted as a pre-test post-test design in a randomized controlled study. Participants were given a 5-week telemedicine education related to nursing care, and the changes in students' attitudes toward telemedicine were examined. Digitalization has brought about significant changes in healthcare, and telemedicine applications have enabled nurses to transform patient care. Improving nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward telehealth is crucial for enhancing the effective use of digital health tools. In this context, the "The Role of Digitalization in Nursing: An Innovative Transformation in Care" training program was designed to assess nursing students' attitudes toward telemedicine applications. The study aims to analyze the impact of the training program by comparing experimental and control groups.
