Integration of technofunctional and relational dimensions of participants’ experiences with home telemonitoring.

Integrated theme	PBAa framework (technofunctional lens)	PCPb framework (relational lens)	Combined insight
Reassurance through monitoring	Users interpreted device monitoring as health surveillance	Nurses’ follow-up created a sense of presence	Reassurance emerged from the interaction between technology and relational care, not from the device alone
Burden of repeated tasks	Repetitive questionnaires and alerts created fatigue	Lack of feedback reduced perceived care responsiveness	Techno-functional burden was amplified when relational feedback was missing
Adaptation and confidence	Users developed autonomy through learning the devices	Supportive nurses reinforced confidence	Sustained engagement depended on both usability and relational encouragement
Disengagement and withdrawal	Technical frustration and cognitive overload	Limited caregiver support and relational reassurance	Withdrawal often resulted from combined technical and relational gaps
