Abstract: (194 Views)
Aims: Telerehabilitation is a branch of telemedicine and an emerging method of providing rehabilitation services through information and communication technology between patients and healthcare providers. This systematic review aimed to examine healthcare professionals' attitudes, knowledge, and awareness of telerehabilitation.
Information & Methods: A systematic search was conducted without a time limit in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases on May 27, 2024. We followed the PRISMA guidelines for reporting evidence from the studies included in this systematic review. Titles and abstracts were independently screened based on eligibility criteria. A 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 included in this review.
Findings: A total of 33 eligible articles were identified through this review. Out of these, 25 studies investigated healthcare professionals' attitudes toward telerehabilitation. Additionally, 15 studies evaluated the knowledge of healthcare professionals regarding telerehabilitation, while 10 studies explored their awareness of telerehabilitation.
Conclusion: All health professionals have a positive and promising attitude toward the use of telerehabilitation, but half of the specialists have insufficient knowledge and limited experience in telerehabilitation.
