The widespread prevalence of COVID-19 has disrupted the social life, physical function, and daily activities of patients, leading to reduced quality of their lives. Because of the nature of this disease and its comprehensive impact on patients' lives, a follow-up based on the conditions of these patients is necessary. This study was conducted to determine the impact of nurse education and telephone follow-up (telenursing) on the quality of life of COVID-19 patients.
This quasi-experimental study included 120 COVID-19 patients discharged from 22nd-Bahman Hospital in Khaf city and was conducted over 6 months from July 20, 2020, to December 20, 2020. The participants were selected by convenience sampling method and were assigned into two matching groups. The training was delivered through telenursing based on the quality of life criteria for 1 month in the intervention group. The controls did not receive any intervention. Both groups completed the 36-item SF health survey before and 1 month after the intervention.
The two groups were not significantly different regarding the quality of life mean scores at baseline (p = 0.61). However, after the intervention, the mean and standard deviation of the total life quality score was significantly different between the control and intervention groups (63.62 ± 3.93 versus 72.62 ± 3.51, p <0.001).
Telenursing improves the life quality of COVID-19 patients. Through appropriate policies, health managers may put on the agenda the implementation of telenursing for COVID-19 patients.
新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）的广泛流行扰乱了患者的社交生活、身体功能和日常活动，导致其生活质量下降。由于这种疾病的性质及其对患者生活的全面影响，对这些患者的状况进行随访是必要的。本研究旨在确定护士教育和电话随访（远程护理）对COVID-19患者生活质量的影响。
这项准实验研究纳入了120名从哈夫市第22巴赫曼医院出院的COVID-19患者，研究于2020年7月20日至2020年12月20日进行，为期6个月。参与者采用便利抽样法选取，并被分为两个匹配组。干预组基于生活质量标准通过远程护理进行了1个月的培训。对照组未接受任何干预。两组在干预前和干预后1个月均完成了36项简短健康调查问卷（SF-36）。
两组在基线时的生活质量平均得分无显著差异（p = 0.61）。然而，干预后，对照组和干预组的总生活质量得分的平均值和标准差有显著差异（63.62±3.93对72.62±3.51，p<0.001）。
远程护理可提高COVID-19患者的生活质量。通过适当的政策，卫生管理人员可将对COVID-19患者实施远程护理提上议程。
