“…Furthermore, the integration of telehealth and simulation in nursing education is feasible, given that simulation has been recognized as an efficacious pedagogical tool that can be applied to a variety of subject matter. It has been demonstrated that telehealth simulation is beneficial and acceptable for imparting clinical reasoning to nursing students [53,69]. By integrating telehealth simulations into nursing training at an early stage, nurses would benefit from heightened exposure to telehealth experiences, enhanced engagement and learning opportunities, and improved readiness for authentic patient interactions.…”

“…Enhanced continuity of care in the postpartum period may be achieved using virtual follow-up visits, provision of breastfeeding support, and delivering guidance on contraception. Patients may receive supplementary medical interventions, including surveillance for arterial hypertension and diabetes, therapy, and assessment of mental well-being, throughout the perinatal period [52,53].…”

The high prevalence of postpartum depression makes it necessary for midwives and nurses to implement prenatal interventions for expectant mothers. The current study aims to investigate and highlight the importance of the digital training of nurses in order to help women mitigate the symptoms of postpartum depression and protect infants. To approach this, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to address the study’s main objective. Articles were retrieved from the Scopus database for the timeframe 2000–2023. Data analysis was conducted using the statistical programming language R (version R-4.4.) and the bibliometric software VOSviewer (version 1.6.20) and Biblioshiny (version 4.1.4), focused on year, journal, and country. For this investigation, we selected a total of 31 MeSH keywords and sub-headings that exhibited significant frequencies. We consistently used six significant clusters of MeSH keywords. We obtained a total of 585 articles from the Scopus database that were major contributors to the field of PPD, as evidenced by their extensive publication of research articles and their influential role in the domain. The studies included a thorough analysis of depression research, the use of scales for diagnosing and screening PPD, psychological studies related to PPD, and the exploration of causes, mechanisms, outcomes, and genetic factors. Our study’s results demonstrate a steady and significant increase in the availability of information on PPD. Importantly, the novelty of the current study lies in highlighting the need for a transition in the ways in which nurses and midwives are trained to mitigate postpartum disease by integrating emerging technologies into their practices. The knowledge provided here has the potential to serve as a foundation for future advancements in obstetric psychology, both presently and in the future.

“…The care gaps existing among the underserved and marginalized, including pregnant women who have limited access to rural maternity, have been bridged by telehealth and other digital technologies. 39 , 40 The integration of telehealth into maternal care has yielded a reformation of this subsection of the healthcare industry. Through telehealth, a drastic reduction in adverse intrapartum and postpartum outcomes, which may have been associated with delayed care initiation due to poor access to a caregiving facility, has been witnessed.…”

“…For example, antenatal care models recommend at least 14 antenatal care contacts for low-risk pregnancies; telehealth offers a platform supplementing physical care sessions, consequently cutting down on the cost of accessing healthcare facilities and the resultant loss of work hours. 39 , 41 - 43 …”

The healthcare industry is constantly evolving to bridge the inequality gap and provide precision care to its diverse population. One of these approaches is the integration of digital health tools into healthcare delivery. Significant milestones such as reduced maternal mortality, rising and rapidly proliferating health tech start-ups, and the use of drones and smart devices for remote health service delivery, among others, have been reported. However, limited access to family planning, migration of health professionals, climate change, gender inequity, increased urbanization, and poor integration of private health firms into healthcare delivery rubrics continue to impair the attainment of universal health coverage and health equity. Health policy development for an integrated health system without stigma, addressing inequalities of all forms, should be implemented. Telehealth promotion, increased access to infrastructure, international collaborations, and investment in health interventions should be continuously advocated to upscale the current health landscape and achieve health equity.
