Perception and Knowledge About Telenursing and eHealth Among Nursing University Students: A Cross-Sectional Study in the United Arab Emirates.
Review in Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTelenursing uses digital technologies to support remote nursing care. As telehealth expands in the UAE, nursing students need adequate knowledge and skills to use these tools effectively.
objectivesThis study examined nursing students' knowledge and perceptions of telenursing and their attitudes toward eHealth and technology.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 258 undergraduate nursing students using a demographic questionnaire, the Telenursing Knowledge Scale, and the Perceptions and Attitudes Towards eHealth and Technology Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
resultsStudents exhibited positive perceptions (M = 3.65 ± 0.98) and positive attitudes (M = 3.67 ± 0.84) towards telenursing and eHealth and technology, respectively. The majority of the participants (78.3%) agreed with the incorporation of telenursing in nursing curriculum at the college level, and 77.9% were willing to utilize it as another type of health service in future professional practice. Many participants knew about the benefits of telenursing, such as increased staff effectiveness (70.2%) and improved communication between patients and staff (72.1%), which gave a mean advantage score of 3.56 ± 0.82. But there were issues about technical difficulties (59.3%), lack of patient interaction (59.3%), and society's vulnerability due to excessive dependence on technology (62.4%). Most significantly, 87.6% misunderstood telenursing with the help of the definition of telemedicine, indicating their poor conceptual knowledge. Internet usage was significantly related to positive perception and attitude (p ≤ 0.05) on all the outcome variables, but academic year and clinical courses had no effect.
conclusionNursing students generally had positive views of telenursing and eHealth, but stronger practical education in digital health is needed.
