EVALUATING THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF REMOTE NURSING SERVICES: IMPLICATIONS FOR SPORTS MEDICINE AND ATHLETE CARE

Abstract

Objective: To assess nurses' awareness, willingness, and readiness for implementing "Internet+ Nursing Services" in home-based care, focusing on safety, suitability, and feasibility. Methods: A survey of 88 nurses from Shenzhen hospitals examined familiarity with the service model, willingness to participate, prior experience, and improvement needs. Suitability was assessed across four dimensions: environment, safety, technical difficulty, and operational portability. Results: Among surveyed nurses, 52.3% were aware of "Internet+ Nursing Services," and 77.3% were willing to participate. Main information sources included policy documents and institutional announcements. Key concerns included legal frameworks (25.2%) and platform infrastructure. Basic nursing services like vital sign monitoring, oxygen therapy, and drug administration scored high on suitability, while suction care showed lower portability. Conclusion: Nurses showed strong interest in adopting "Internet+ Nursing Services" despite moderate awareness. Enhancing training, legal frameworks, and operational standards is crucial for safer and more effective home-based care, with potential applications in remote sports medicine and athlete care.
