Tele-nursing: A novel opportunity to improve the quality of nursing care

In the age of technological advancements, when each medical field is adapting and applying technologies to improve the quality of their service, nursing is moving from the bedside to the Tele-nursing couch to provide better care for patients [1-4]. The use of technology in nursing care and nursing practice is commonly referred to as telenursing [5, 6]. The services also include patient education, counseling, and follow-up via telecommunication technologies such as mobile phones, the Internet, and web-based conferencing [1, 3, 6, 7]. However, with the widespread use of Tele-nursing, researchers focus on the effects on nursing care quality [8, 9].
