Sažetak
The digital transformation of the healthcare system, particularly through the development of telemedicine and telenursing, introduces a range of ethical and professional challenges that profoundly reshape healthcare practice. Changes in communication, decision-making processes, and data storage require a re-examination of the role of healthcare professionals, especially nurses. The aim of this paper is to explore how digitally mediated care affects fundamental ethical principles, including autonomy, privacy, justice, and responsibility, and how these challenges are reflected in nursing practice. Through a qualitative analysis of relevant literature and legal documents, the paper identifies key points of vulnerability within existing professional and legal frameworks. The conclusion highlights the need for stronger institutional support, clear ethical guidelines, and targeted education to enable nurses to operate effectively in digital environments while preserving humanity and professional integrity.
