Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes is the most common chronic metabolic disease worldwide and requires lifelong follow-up. Telenursing is considered an effective method for providing care to individuals with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This narrative review aimed to evaluate the effects of telenursing compared to routine care on disease outcomes in people with T2DM.
Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search of online databases including PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar was conducted using the following MeSH keywords: telenursing, telephone follow-up, diabetes mellitus, disease management, blood glucose, self-care, treatment adherence, and quality of life, up to July 2024. Two independent reviewers screened relevant studies based on predefined outcomes (treatment adherence, self-care, glycemic control, and quality of life) and extracted data from all eligible studies.
Results: Of all retrieved studies, 13 quasi-experimental and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from five continents met the inclusion criteria. Both male and female patients were included, with a mean age of 56.2 years and follow-up durations ranging from 12 weeks to 18 months. The findings indicated that telenursing or nurse-led telephone follow-up significantly increased self-care efficacy scores, improved adherence to treatment regimens, and reduced levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and plasma glucose. However, no significant effects were observed on lipid profiles or body mass index. Quality of life also improved compared to routine care.
Conclusion: Telenursing appears to be an effective approach for improving glycemic control, promoting self-care, and minimizing disease complications in individuals with type II diabetes. Overall, these findings suggest that telenursing should be considered an integral part of health programs for better diabetes management across various populations.
