Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of telemonitoring on the compliance with self-care recommendations in patients with heart failure.
Background. Patients with heart failure need to strengthen their self-care behaviors in order to cope with the problems caused by the disease. This is despite the fact that most patients have poor compliance with self-care recommendations. In recent years, telemonitoring has been considered as an effective approach to increase patients compliance with self-care recommendations.
Method. This was a quasi-experimental study with an intervention group. The desired outcome was adherence to weekly self-reporting of three subjects: vital signs, questions related to experienced symptoms related to the disease and questions related to educational content. The statistical sample consisted of 68 people with heart failure referred to the heart failure clinic of selected hospitals in Tehran, Iran, who were selected by available methods and were trained and followed up for 8 weeks through messengers and phone calls.
Findings. Out of 68 patients, 7 patients were excluded, and the data of 61 patients was analyzed and reported as percentage of frequency. This method of intervention has received very good feedback from the participants such that the average response to questions related to weekly educational content was 91.9 percent, the average weekly self-reporting of vital signs was 86.4 percent, and the average weekly response to questions related to symptoms experienced related to the disease was 93 percent.
Conclusion. The results show that telemonitoring is effective in increasing the compliance with self-care recommendations in patients with heart failure.
