Exploring the telehealth readiness and its related factors among palliative care specialist nurses: a cross-sectional study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

The majority of Chinese people who are nearing the end of their lives prefer to receive home-based palliative care. Telehealth, as a new service model, has the potential to meet the increasing demand for this service, especially in remote areas with limited resources. However, nurse-led telehealth-based palliative care services are still in the pilot implementation phase. Assessing the telehealth readiness among palliative care specialist nurses and identifying associated factors is crucial to facilitate the successful implementation of telehealth services. Therefore, this study aimed to examine TH readiness and its related factors among Chinese palliative care specialist nurses.

Methods

Four hundred nine Chinese palliative care specialist nurses from 28 province
