dc.description.abstractThe use of masks, personal hygiene and social distance were recommended as protective measures in combating coronavirus (CoV). Some CoV disease measures (stay at home, social distance) taken due to the pandemic, prevented individuals from accessing routine health care. During this period, people should both stay at home and also benefit from routine health services. Telehealth applications come into service to help people while staying at home and supporting them with home-caring applications. While telehealth applications are used for provision of services in the fields of diagnosis, treatment, disease prevention, education and research, their use for tele-counseling, remote diagnosis and treatment and follow-up were also widespread. While telehealth applications reduces contamination risk through restricting inter-personal contact, they also enabled to treat the symptoms and other medical problems of diseased individuals. During the pandemic, telehealth applications increased the satisfaction of healthcare professionals and patients and medical and nursing associations supported the use of telehealth in the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result; the COVID-19 pandemic increased the need for telehealth applications and in the pandemic, health services provided by telehealth applications allow to limit the transmission of infection, to ensure continuity of care, to increase the participation of patients and their relatives in care, and to save time and costs. In addition to all the downsides of the COVID19 pandemic, it is thought to contribute to the development and spread of telehealth practices. However, the COVID-19 pandemic may have increased nurses’ familiarity with the concept of telenursing and accelerated their adaptation to tele-nursing practices.en_US
