Study Arms (2)

Telenursing Interventions Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this group will receive five hours of face-to-face empowerment training. After the training, the experimental group will be monitored remotely by the researcher nurse via tele-nursing interventions for 12 weeks. Participants will be given a pulse oximeter, symptom diary, action plan, oxygen saturation-pulse monitoring chart. Participants will be asked to measure their oxygen saturation and pulse once a day for 12 weeks and record it on the chart. Participants will also be asked to record their complaints in their symptom diary. Participants will be called by the researcher every two weeks (on Thursdays) and informative and reminding text messages prepared specifically for the disease will be sent to the participants three times a week for 12 weeks. Participants will be able to reach the researchers by phone whenever they need.

Other: Telenursing Interventions

No Intervention Group

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in this group will be given a pulse oximeter, symptom diary, action plan, oxygen saturation-pulse monitoring chart. No intervention will be taken.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: In order to prevent selection bias in the study, the assignment to the experimental and control groups will be made on a computer by a person who is unfamiliar with the research process. Individuals included in the study will not be told whether they are in the experimental or control group. The analysis of the data will be done by a statistics expert who is outside the research process.
