“…It showed that one-third of the callers to the triage nurse were satis ed when they got care instructions or guidance to social and healthcare services (47). Furthermore, this telecare offers new possibilities for patients, especially in rural areas, and for all healthcare workers to be able to help and advice citizens safely by phone, e.g., like during outbreaks of contagious diseases (48). Our results are consistent with these ndings.…”

Background Primary care, the principal function of the healthcare system, needs efforts from the local primary healthcare teams. Community Paramedicine has managed to reduce the use of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for non-emergent calls. For the paramedic to move from traditional emergency call outs to non-emergency care means new demands. There is a paucity of paramedics’ experiences and perceptions of their novel roles as community paramedics. This study aimed to explore the community nurse-paramedics experiences of their new sphere of practice. Methods A descriptive ethnographic research was conducted collecting data through participant observation (total 317 hours) and semi-structured interviews (N = 24) in three Hospital Districts where the community nurse-paramedics (CNP) have worked at least one year. Both data were combined, organized, and analyzed with inductive content analysis. Results From the inductive content analysis, five themes emerged: the CNP's new way of thinking, the broad group of patients, the demanding way to provide care, the diversity of multi-agency collaboration and management challenges. The CNP needs an appropriate attitude for the care and the broader way of thinking than before, taking care of the patient but also about the family members. The CNPs pointed out as enablers for the way of providing care as challenges for the management of the CNP model. The diversity of multiagency collaboration team can be sensitive while offering new possibilities. Conclusion The CNP's deep involvement in patients' and families' care needs and the challenges of CNPs’ skills and competences. Their professional attitudes and eagerness to develop and maintain the multi-agency collaboration can offer preventive and long-term caring solutions from which the citizens and allied health, safety, and social care providers benefit locally and globally.

“…The proposed robot is then modified to perform extra functions like disinfection and body temperature detection during the COVID-19 pandemic. A Tele-Robotic Intelligent Nursing Assistant (TRINA) was also utilised to deliver nursing jobs and the results are promising [ 52 ]. Until now, the remote servicing robot can provide basic communications and interactions with the patient.…”

Since the late 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has been spread all around the world. The pandemic is a critical challenge to the health and safety of the general public, the medical staff and the medical systems worldwide. It has been globally proposed to utilise robots during the pandemic, to improve the treatment of patients and leverage the load of the medical system. However, there is still a lack of detailed and systematic review of the robotic research for the pandemic, from the technologies’ perspective. Thus a thorough literature survey is conducted in this research and more than 280 publications have been reviewed, with the focus on robotics during the pandemic. The main contribution of this literature survey is to answer two research questions, i.e. 1) what the main research contributions are to combat the pandemic from the robotic technologies’ perspective, and 2) what the promising supporting technologies are needed during and after the pandemic to help and guide future robotics research. The current achievements of robotic technologies are reviewed and discussed in different categories, followed by the identification of the representative work’s technology readiness level. The future research trends and essential technologies are then highlighted, including artificial intelligence, 5 G, big data, wireless sensor network, and human-robot collaboration.

“…In most of the studies, physicians (14 papers) and nurses (8 articles) participated in the telehealth programs. 33,38,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] A medical team participating in a mission providing humanitarian aid to Africa and Pakistan was trained in the use of telecommunication equipment and in telemedicine concepts. 54 To ensure the feasibility of telemedicine in disaster triage, the physician had an audiovisual interface with the paramedic team and was able to observe the victims remotely.…”

The current literature on telenursing in incidents and disasters indicates that the use of technology is seen as a significant strategy for addressing the continually increasing demand for care. However, in disaster management, this technology has not been implemented. This article contributes the main finding that because of the shortage of specialized nurses in disaster areas, the presence of this group in the telehealth program will provide a new platform for care. Thus, telenursing offers a means of improving disaster response that has not been well researched.The key implication for emergency nursing practice from this study is that telenursing may be helpful in cases such as wound management, trauma care, and triage during disasters.
