Key result
Telenursing educational workshops enable nurses to develop patient assessment and care planning instruments.
Why the study?
To report on educational workshops on telenursing use for monitoring individuals with hypertension and diabetes in Primary Health Care.
Educational workshops are effective in training nurses and supporting the implementation of telenursing for chronic condition monitoring in primary care.
Telenursing workshops may address primary care gaps in hypertension and diabetes; leaves open impact on outcomes pending controlled trials.
OBJECTIVES: to report on educational workshops on telenursing use for monitoring individuals with hypertension and diabetes in Primary Health Care. METHODS: this experience report, conducted between May and July 2021, involved a survey of the characteristics of the care provided, a discussion of possibilities of telenursing, instrument development, and technology testing. RESULTS: a situational assessment revealed dissatisfaction with the outcomes of the care provided. The 16 participating nurses recognized telenursing's potential, but highlighted the lack of time and insufficient human resources and infrastructure as potential limitations. They participated in the development of a form for assessing patients' suitability and risk stratification, as well as a nursing consultation script and care plan. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: educational workshops are effective in training nurses, confirming the importance of continuing education to support the implementation of changes in care practice, such as telenursing use.
