    Telenursing significantly reduces exacerbation rates and hospital admissions in adults with chronic respiratory diseases compared to traditional nursing care.

  • 2

    The systematic review included 39 studies with 4,340 patients, primarily focusing on COPD and asthma management.

  • 3

    Emergency department presentations remained similar between telenursing and traditional care, indicating limited impact on acute care needs.

  • 4

    Length of stay in hospitals showed minimal differences, suggesting telenursing may not influence inpatient care duration.

  • 5

    Further research is needed to standardize assessments of treatment adherence, acceptability, and patient satisfaction with telenursing.
