Research Abstract |
The present study had four objectives and projects. The first objective was to introduce a new home monitoring-based telenursing system, “Iki-Iki HOT Nagomi”, for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with home oxygen therapy (HOT). We conducted a randomized controlled trial which showed and verified that this system prevents hospitalization and exacerbation of the disease and reduce medical costs. The second objective was to perform a meta-analysis to evaluate whether providing such a telenursing service could prevent COPD exacerbations and hospital readmission as well as improve the quality of life in patients with COPD based on this evaluation. The third objective was to create and publish a set of practical telenursing guidelines for at-home patient care based on the evidence demonstrated in the first and second projects. Finally, we sought to promote these practical telenursing guidelines by planning and conducting practical seminars in telenursing, which targeted nurses and evaluated the program content.
