Abstract: (59 Views)
Aims: Telerehabilitation is a branch of telemedicine and an emerging method of providing rehabilitation services through information and communication technology between patients and doctors. This systematic review aimed to examine health professionals' attitudes, knowledge, and awareness of telerehabilitation.
Instrument & Methods: On May 27, 2024, a systematic search was conducted without a time limit in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. We followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines for reporting on the evidence from the studies that were a part of this systematic review. Titles and abstracts were independently screened based on eligibility criteria. The checklist was used for data extraction. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for analytical cross-sectional studies was used to assess the quality of the studies entering this study.
Findings: Totally, 33 eligible articles were found through this review. Out of 33 studies, 25 studies investigated the attitude of health professionals towards telerehabilitation. In addition, 15 studies evaluated the knowledge of health professionals in the field of telerehabilitation. On the other hand, out of 10 studies investigated the awareness of health professionals about telerehabilitation.
Conclusion: The evidence from this study shows that all health professionals had a positive and promising attitude toward the use of telerehabilitation, but half of the specialists had insufficient knowledge and limited experience in telerehabilitation Therefore, the need for comprehensive training to fully exploit the capabilities of telerehabilitation in improving patient care for healthcare professionals seems essential.
