To integrate patients’ experiences of nurse-led eHealth interventions for chronic heart failure (CHF) and identify key facilitators and barriers to intervention implementation.
Approach:
Study Design: A qualitative meta-synthesis approach was used to synthesize the experiences, perceptions, and perspectives of patients with CHF receiving nurse-led eHealth interventions.
Key Findings:
Patients reported an enhanced sense of security and psychological reassurance from nurse-led remote monitoring.
Some patients experienced technical difficulties and anxiety during the initial use of eHealth interventions.
Existing qualitative studies on patient experiences are limited by small sample sizes and varied contexts, leading to fragmented findings.
Interpretation:
The synthesis of qualitative findings offers insights into patients’ experiences, which is important for understanding the implementation of nurse-led eHealth services.
Limitations:
Fragmentation of findings due to small sample sizes and varied study contexts in existing qualitative research.
Conclusion:
The study aims to inform the development of more adaptive and individualized intervention strategies for nurse-led eHealth services in CHF management.
