Assessment of Telehealth Readiness and Acceptance Among Nurses in Public Healthcare Facilities in Nigeria
Background
Telehealth technologies are increasingly being adopted to improve healthcare access, continuity of care, and health system efficiency. Nurses are central to telehealth implementation through patient education, remote monitoring, and care coordination. However, successful integration depends on healthcare workers’ readiness, technological competence, and acceptance of digital health solutions. In Nigeria, evidence on telehealth readiness among nurses remains limited despite growing investments in digital health infrastructure. Understanding factors influencing acceptance can support effective implementation strategies.
