Abstract: (57 Views)
Background & Aim: One of the most stressful and anxiety-provoking cases for the patient and his family was hospitalization with a possible or definite diagnosis of Covid-19. This research was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of telenursing on the level of depression, anxiety and stress of patients’s family hospitalized due to covid-19 in Allameh Bahloul Gonabadi Hospital in 2020.
Methods: This study is a semi-experimental research with before and after design. The research population was hospitalized patients with a definite diagnosis of covid-19 and their families. The sampling method was purposeful and accessible. The research sample included 42 patients' family members, including 22 in the intervention group and 20 in the control group. The depression anxiety and stress scale 21 (DASS-21) questionnaire was completed by a member of the patient's family with COVID-19. In the intervention group before and at the end of the three days of the intervention. Three telephone training sessions were conducted by the nurse over the phone with the family member about the patient's condition and ensuring the necessary interventions for their patient. In the control group, routine ward and hospital interventions were performed. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20 software and descriptive and inferential statistical methods including chi-square, independent t and paired t tests. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The mean age of the research units was 39.21±11.44 years. Most of them were married (92.85%) and had university education (43.18%). In the intervention group, three days after the implementation of the telenursing program, the scores of anxiety, stress and depression in the patients' families decreased significantly compared to before the intervention (P=0.013), but in the control group, the difference No significance was observed in terms of anxiety, stress and depression scores before and after the intervention (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the quarantine conditions and the impossibility of face-to-face visits for patients with covid-19, as well as the positive effects of telenursing, nurses can use this method in the field of caring for patients and providing necessary training to their families and reducing stress and anxiety of other family members through telenursing.
