简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
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.
干预措施: web-based training and telephone monitoring (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Positive effects on weight
时间窗: 3 months
Weight assessment form: The form was prepared by the researcher to record the patients' weights in "kilogram" units.
Has an effect on reducing symptom burden
时间窗: 3 months
Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Heart Failure: The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Heart Failure was used to evaluate symptom prevalence, severity, and distress. For each of the 32 items, the patient indicated whether he/she had experienced the symptom by selecting "yes" or "no." If "yes" was selected, the severity of a symptom over the past 7 days was assessed using the response. The score range of each symptom is 0-4. Higher score indicates a higher symptom burden. Turkish version of the questionnaire was used.
Positive effects on waist circumference
时间窗: 3 months
Waist circumference assessment form: The form was prepared by the researcher to record the waist circumference of the patients as "centimeters" unit.
Has an effect on improving quality of life
时间窗: 3 months
Left Ventricular Dysfunction Questionnaire: The questionnaire is a 36 item questionnaire for patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Responses are dichotomous (true or false). True responses are summed and the sum is expressed as a percentage. The score range of scale is 0-100. A higher score indicates a worse quality of life. Turkish version of the questionnaire was used.
Reducing heart failure patient rehospitalizations
时间窗: 3 months
Evaluation form of rehospitalizations: During the 3-month follow-up period, the number of admissions to the hospital and emergency outpatient clinic was recorded. In addition, if he was hospitalized, how many days he was hospitalized was recorded.
Positive effects on blood pressure
时间窗: 3 months
Blood pressure assessment form: The form was prepared by the researcher to record the blood pressure of the patients as "mmHg" units
Positive effects on creatinine
时间窗: 3 months
Creatinine assessment form: A form was prepared by the researcher to record normal creatinine levels in the blood as "milligram" units.
