| Abstract: |
Telehealth nursing has emerged as a transformative model in pediatric healthcare delivery, particularly in reducing disparities in child growth and developmental monitoring. This study evaluates the effectiveness of telehealth nursing interventions in improving pediatric outcomes through remote assessment, health education, and timely clinical support. A mixed-method observational research design was employed across multiple healthcare settings in India, involving 250 pediatric patients aged 0–18 years who received telehealth nursing services over a 12-month period. Data collection included anthropometric measurements, developmental screening tools, parental satisfaction surveys, and clinical outcome indicators.
The results demonstrated substantial improvements in growth monitoring adherence (87.5%), timely identification of developmental delays (78%), and increased parental engagement in child health management. Statistical analysis further indicated that telehealth nursing interventions reduced hospital readmissions by 42% and improved nutritional status in 73% of malnourished children. The study concludes that telehealth nursing is an effective, accessible, and cost-efficient model for enhancing pediatric growth and development, especially in resource-limited and geographically remote areas, while effectively complementing traditional in-person healthcare services. |
