BACKGROUND: The growing elderly population in Indonesia presents challenges for the healthcare system, prompting the exploration of telemedicine as a solution. However, its effective implementation in Indonesia faces obstacles.
METHODS: This research aimed to develop a comprehensive geriatric telemedicine framework in Padang City by studying multiple stakeholders. We employed qualitative methods, including in- -depth interviews, across two hospitals, a Health Office, and a Community Health Center, involving 18 elderly participants.
RESULTS: The study identified ten key dimensions for geriatric telemedicine services: technology, Human-Computer Interface (HCI), infrastructure, system workflow, clinical content, people (diverse roles), organization (ecosystem, service workflow, internal and external regulations), and financing (social security agency on health and independent). We used the Human-Organization- Technology Fit and Sociotechnical System approaches for analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The study suggests implications for future implementation and advocates for broader participant involvement, information technology (IT) studies for system development, and longitudinal evaluations to assess the impact on elderly health outcomes.

Nurses are faced with tremendous pressure when providing brain-dead patients with care. There is limited guidance for nurses on the care of these patients. The present study aimed to report the experiences of nurses regarding the care of patients diagnosed with brain death. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 31 nurses and other stakeholders, and the observations and field notes were analyzed using continuous and comparative analysis based on grounded theory. The qualitative analysis of the data resulted in extraction of six final categories, including \'facing increased tensions and conflicts\', \'organ donation: a distinct care element\', \'inconsistency of care management\', \'effective care requirements\', \'challenges, rights and duty requirements\', and \'moral obligation to provide holistic care until the last minute\'. Data analysis identified \'Challenges, rights and duty requirements\' as the main issue and showed that the nurses managed this issue using the strategy of \'moral obligation to provide holistic care until the last minute\' as the core variable. According to the results, it is recommended that the healthcare system (especially hospital management) take supportive action for nurses in various fields of care of brain-dead patients to resolve educational, moral and legal challenges.

We aimed to explore and describe the factors involved in Iranian women heads of household\'s health promotion activities. Grounded theory was used as the method. Sixteen women heads of household were recruited. Data were generated by semi structured interviews. Our findings indicated that remainder of resources (money, time and energy) alongside perceived severity of health risk were two main factors whereas women\'s personal and socio-economic characteristics were two contextual factors involved in these women\'s health promotion activities. To help these women improve their health status, we recommended that the government, non-governmental organizations and health care professionals provide them with required resources and increase their knowledge by holding training sessions.
