Background: The need for care increases as people both grow older and live longer. This, together with a shortage of staff, creates challenges to meet the increased need for care. To meet the growing need for care, increased implementation and use of digital healthcare is seen as one of the solutions. Thus, it is important that the nurse has the competence to use digital tools to provide qualitative and safe healthcare. Aim: To describe the nurse's experiences of digital healthcare meetings through video calls. Method: A literature study was performed. An analysis of ten empirical studies which the results are based on were conducted. Results: Two main themes and six subthemes were identified. The main themes were "The nurse's experiences of the interaction at digital care meetings through video calls" and "The nurse's experiences of digitization in the nursing care". The subthemes were "Prerequisites of the environment for a caring relationship", "Mediating safe care and relieve anxiety", "The importance of communication", "The impact of the digital health meeting on perceived participation", "The implications of the technique" and "Accessible and effective care". Conclusion: Digital care is currently not suitable for all patients. Digital care should be used as a complement to physical care. Many nurses are in need of technical support and training to further develop skills in e-health. Proper use of technology that meets the demands of the healthcare can lead to time savings for the nurse in the care of the patient. The nurse's ability to both see and hear the patient via video calls promote nurse assessment and patient participation in healthcare.
