Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The total number of COVID-19 cases worldwide on 31.01.2021; It was reported to be 101,917,147 and the total number of deaths was 2,205,515 (https://covid19.who.int/).
Considering that the number of cases is constantly increasing, it is obvious that hospitals will not meet the entire epidemic burden. During this period, home care has emerged as an alternative way to effectively alleviate the epidemic burden. Home healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic; Four roles have stood out: home diagnosis, follow-up, treatment, and care.
Protective measures for home isolation of Covid-19 patients are the current method used to prevent the spread of cases. Possible or definite cases that do not have an indication for hospitalization, have a mild clinic and do not accompany severe chronic disease that may lead to a severe course of covid-19 are followed at home until their symptoms improve. In addition, patients who are hospitalized and meet discharge criteria can complete their recovery processes at home. Isolation is terminated on the 14th day at the earliest following the improvement of symptoms in patients who are followed at home. Reducing the contact of people, isolating certain and suspicious cases and effective use of personal protective equipment play an important role in combating the epidemic. It is thought that the training that COVID-19 cases to be followed up and treated at home will be effective in drug compliance, symptom management and quality of life will be effective in the management of the disease.
