Abstract: (20 Views)
Background: Morbidity and mortality of coronavirus are more likely in vulnerable groups such as cancer patients. Using self-care education in these patients for prevention is a priority. This study aimed to investigate the effect of telenursing education on self-care behaviors preventing Covid-19 in cancer patients.
Methods: This interventional study was conducted in Vasei Sabzevar Hospital on patients with various types of cancer undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy in 2020 at the same time as the second peak of Covid-19 for one month (30 minutes daily). The two-stage sampling was in the intervention group (31 people) and the control group (26 people). Self-care and patient follow-up training on the prevention of Covid- 19 was conducted through the WhatsApp social network. Data were collected using a researcher-made self-care questionnaire, a demographic questionnaire, and a medical information form.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 58.24±13.27 years, the majority were female (n=35; 61%). Breast cancer was the most common cancer among the studied subjects (n=24; 42.1%). In the intervention group, the mean score of self-care was before the intervention (21.65 ± 8.72) and after the intervention (36.76 ± 3.14). The result of independent t test was significant difference between two groups (p<0.001). Fisher's exact test did not show a significant difference between the two groups in terms of Covid-19 disease morbidity (p = 0.118).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that telenursing education has improved self-care behaviors in the prevention of coronavirus in cancer patients.
