“…In this research, well-planned, customized telerehabilitation regimens were found to have beneficial effects [ 11 , 53 ]. Although telemedicine experiments during the pandemic time largely engaged physicians, the pandemic experiences revealed that we also need to boost the number and training of specialized rheumatology nurses [ 54 ]. In a randomized controlled trial, RA patients with low disease activity or in remission were randomly assigned to patient-reported outcome-based telehealth follow-up by a nurse or rheumatologist or typical outpatient follow-up by a physician.…”

Nurses have become integral members of multidisciplinary teams in managing rheumatic diseases, departing from their traditional patient care roles. This article provides a comprehensive review of nurses’ roles, interventions, and impacts in several rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, spondyloarthritis, gout, systemic lupus erythematosus, and polymyalgia rheumatica. It has been demonstrated that care under nursing supervision is effective and safe, with benefits including disease management, quality of life, and treatment adherence. In addition, nurses play a crucial role in promoting health, educating patients, and administering biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of telehealth services and nurses’ role in delivering remote care. However, nursing education and training challenges persist, particularly in standardization and access to postgraduate education. Efforts to enhance the role of nurses in rheumatology care are necessary to optimize patient outcomes and meet the evolving needs of individuals with rheumatic diseases. Collaboration across healthcare institutions, professional groups, and educational facilities is necessary for promoting the continual growth and advancement of rheumatology nurse practice. By equipping nurses with the requisite knowledge, expertise, and resources to deliver top-notch care, we can enhance the well-being of individuals with rheumatic diseases and foster improved overall health outcomes.

“…Additionally, the standardization and incorporation of the developments within the health domain [ 5 , 6 ] have played a crucial role in facilitating these advancements. A significant impulse in this field was the pandemic, which was a significant catalyst, providing an unprecedented growth stimulus and acting as a testing ground for the consolidation of existing areas and exploration of new applications [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the proportion of studies about this service [26] and its delivery showed an increase [27,28]. This growth is due to its potential in terms of accessibility, simplifying care delivery in unconventional healthcare frameworks [29,30] and, as in any other telemedicine service, cost and time savings [25]. TR services have been delivered in various areas of rehabilitation, such as musculoskeletal and neurological [31][32][33].…”

Dizziness can be a debilitating condition with various causes, with at least one episode reported in 17% to 30% of the international adult population. Given the effectiveness of rehabilitation in treating dizziness and the recent advancements in telerehabilitation, this systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in the treatment of this disorder. The search, conducted across Medline, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PEDro databases, included randomized controlled trials assessing the efficacy of telerehabilitation interventions, delivered synchronously, asynchronously, or via tele-support/monitoring. Primary outcomes focused on dizziness frequency/severity and disability, with secondary outcomes assessing anxiety and depression measures. Seven articles met the eligibility criteria, whereas five articles contributed to the meta-analysis. Significant findings were observed regarding the frequency and severity of dizziness (mean difference of 3.01, p < 0.001), disability (mean difference of −4.25, p < 0.001), and anxiety (standardized mean difference of −0.16, p = 0.02), favoring telerehabilitation. Telerehabilitation shows promise as a treatment for dizziness, aligning with the positive outcomes seen in traditional rehabilitation studies. However, the effectiveness of different telerehabilitation approaches requires further investigation, given the moderate methodological quality and the varied nature of existing methods and programs.
