Abstract
Aim. The present study was conducted with the aim of reviewing the effect of telenursing in the care of patients with heart failure.
Background. Heart failure is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases, which is presented as a progressive and debilitating disorder. The prevalence of this disease is increasing due to the increasing age of the population, recent advances in the treatment of myocardial infarction, congenital diseases and the decline in mortality. In Iran, approximately one percent of all people over 40 years old have heart failure. The prevalence of this disease doubles with every decade of life and reaches about 10 percent in people over 70 years old. Studies have shown that specialized disease management programs for chronic heart failure (CHF) improve survival and quality of life and reduce health care utilization. Telenursing is one of the existing models.
Method. The present study is a narrative review. The researchers searched out the databases and search engines PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SID, Magiran, and Google Scholar using the keywords, care, chronic heart failure, nurse, telenursing and their Persian equivalent. After checking out the title and abstract of the articles found using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool, the researchers reviewed 10 articles in this study.
Findings. Telenursing reduces hospitalization due to heart failure, reduces mortality and improves quality of life in patients with heart failure and improves education and follow-up after discharge. It also improves disease outcomes and reduces health costs.
Conclusion. The importance of paying attention to telenursing is recommended to policy makers and decision makers in the health system. |
