Nurse-led tele-palliative care for symptom management and family support: A hybrid umbrella review of reviews and primary studies
Tele-palliative nursing is a promising model for delivering symptom management and family support remotely. It demonstrates feasibility and acceptability across diverse settings. However, findings should be interpreted cautiously due to heterogeneity in study designs, reliance on secondary evidence, and variable methodological quality. Further large-scale trials with standardized outcome measures are needed to strengthen the evidence base.
