Brief Summary

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

2019 coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is a virus that emerged in Wuhan, China in late 2019, spread all over the world in a short time and causes severe acute respiratory syndrome and pneumonia. The World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as an "international public health emergency" on January 30 and declared a global epidemic (pandemic) on March 11, 2020, due to the rapid spread of the virus all over the world. speed in the number of cases and deaths. Covidien-19 first cases were reported in Turkey on 10 March 2020 and the number of cases has risen steadily.

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.

The sample of the study, who accepted to participate in the study, was diagnosed with Covid-19 with U07.3 ICD code according to the results of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test and Thorax CT (Thorax CT), and was recommended to be followed up and treated at home by the Zonguldak Public Health Department It is planned to create individuals who meet the criteria.

Detailed Description

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

G power analysis program was used to determine the sample size. The research will be conducted in two groups, an intervention and a control group. With professional support in calculating the sample size of the study, the sample size calculated at a 5% margin of error and a 95% confidence interval was found to be 128. However, against the possibility of sample losses during the follow-up process, the individual diagnosed with Covid-19 will be added to the number of samples by adding 20% (13 participants will be added for each group. 77 interventions in total, 77 controls) will be included in the study. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups.

The scales applied to the intervention group on the first day, by sending the E-Health literacy scale form or phone link via Google on mobile devices. The symptoms of the patients in the control group will be evaluated at the end of the 1st day, 7th day, 14th day and 4th day. No intervention was planned for the patients in the control group during the follow-up. In the standard practice protocol, after patients are informed for follow-up and treatment at home, they are called by the Ministry of Health and family physicians for symptom follow-up. The standard hospital protocol does not include a scheduled training program, telephone monitoring, or web-based training. After collecting the data in the intervention group, the website will be opened to the use of the control group.
