Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Web-based training and telephone monitoring have an effect on reducing symptom burden in patients with heart failure.

Web-based training and telephone monitoring have an effect on improving the quality of life of patients with heart failure.

Web-based training and telephone follow-up have an effect on reducing recurrent hospitalizations of patients with heart failure.

Web-based training and telephone follow-up have a positive effect on the clinical parameters (weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, creatinine) of patients with heart failure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of web-based training and telephone monitoring on symptom management and quality of life in patients with heart failure. Study was conducted with the participation of 32 intervention and 32 control patients who have heart failure, in Akdeniz University Hospital Cardiology Clinic, between April 2018 and July 2019. Data were collected using the Patient Information Form, Left Ventricular Dysfunction Scale and Memorial Symptom Rating Scale-Heart Failure Scale, Website Analysis and Measurement Inventory. The patients in the intervention group received web-based training after discharge, and were followed up by telephone at the first, fourth, eighth and 12 weeks. The scale data were collected before the patient was discharged from hospital and at the third month of discharge.

web-based training and telephone monitoring

The heart failure patients in the intervention group were given web-based training for three months after discharge and followed up by telephone at the first, fourth, eighth and 12th weeks. At the same time, a text message was sent once a week. Scale data were collected before the patient was discharged from the hospital and at the third month of discharge.
