Purpose: To examine the awareness and attitude of paediatric nursing students, adolescents, and nurses towards virtual nursing and advanced devices for type one diabetes. Design and setting: This research adopted a descriptive correlation design. It was conducted at the faculty of Nursing in Benha University, and the Paediatric Department and Outpatient Clinic at the specialized paediatric hospital in Benha city, Egypt. Sample: Simple random sampling was used to select participants over a period of two months. Instruments: Demographic details and a structured questionnaire were used to assess awareness of advanced devices and virtual nursing. An adapted Likert scale was used to evaluate the attitudes of participants.

Results: Most paediatric nurses demonstrated high levels of awareness, whereas adolescents and paediatric nursing students showed relatively poor awareness. The majority of participants exhibited positive attitudes towards virtual nursing and the use of advanced devices for managing type one diabetes. The relationships between the awareness and attitudes of participants, and their age, gender, and economic status were found to be positive and statistically significant.

Conclusions: Most research participants had no previous experience with virtual nursing care and so their awareness of the topic was poor; even though they generally exhibited positive attitudes towards virtual nursing care and the use of modern devices to manage type one diabetes.
