Abstract: (61 Views)
Aims: Heart transplantation brings about a shift in lifestyle and quality of life for children and adolescents post-surgery. Enhancing the quality of life in pediatric heart transplant recipients is among the crucial responsibilities of nurses. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a tele-nursing supportive educational program on adherence to treatment and quality of life in children aged 12-18 years.
Instruments & Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental single-group design. This study investigated the effectiveness of interactive and supportive education programs on the quality of life and medication adherence of 41 pediatric patients referred to a specialized hospital for heart transplantation in Tehran. Participants were selected through census sampling and received education through communication software such as WhatsApp, Skype, and Telegram, which were chosen by the patients and their parents. The program lasted for eight weeks, and data were collected using a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory for Cardiac Problems, and the Modanloo Medication Adherence Scale. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.
Findings: Results showed a significant improvement in the mean score of quality of life and its dimensions (p=0.001) as well as the medication adherence score and its dimensions (p=0.001) following the implementation and follow-up of the intervention program.
Conclusion: The intervention program had a positive impact on the quality of life and medication adherence of the participants. Tele-nursing interventions can be an effective and accessible method to enhance treatment adherence and improve the quality of life for pediatric heart transplant recipients.
