Abstract: (150 Views)
Background: Telemedicine is an ideal method for providing services to patients and can be an effective alternative to in-person visits. Telemedicine facilitates immediate access to doctors and treatment teams and health care for affected individuals, improving and promoting strategies and timely diagnosis and treatment of patients in acute conditions. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of telemedicine on the management of chronic low back pain in women with regard to the attitude towards the improvement of chronic pain.
Methods: This is a narrative review study. The keywords "telemedicine, pain management, chronic low back pain, attitude towards improvement" were searched in articles published in national (SID and Civica) and international (PubMed and Science Direct) databases between 2015 and 2024. 46314 Persian and English articles were retrieved and the abstracts of the published articles were reviewed and duplicate and irrelevant articles were removed from the study in several stages. Finally, 24 final articles were selected for comprehensive review and data extraction.
Results: Younger, university-educated, and single individuals were more likely to use telemedicine services. Since direct physician advice, as well as previous knowledge, attitude, and positive experience were effective in using telemedicine, physicians play a key role in encouraging individuals to use telemedicine and building trust in remote medical systems.
Conclusion: Therefore, it is suggested that educating people to use telemedicine systems can increase their willingness to receive virtual services and lead to reduced patient and healthcare system costs.
