Abstract
Introduction: Adhering to a gluten-free diet has an important impact on the quality of life of celiac patients, and non-adherence to it will have long-term complications. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of telenursing training on the efficiency and adherence to the diet of adolescents with celiac disease.
Materials and methods: This research was a semi-experimental study. Which was conducted on 60 teenagers. Eligible patients were selected in an accessible manner and then were placed in two intervention and control groups. Patients in the intervention group received 5 sessions of virtual telenursing training. Questionnaire of demographic information, self-efficacy and adherence to diet was completed by both groups, before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed by SPSS-22 software. A significance level of p<0.050 was considered.
Results: The two groups did not have a statistically significant difference in terms of the average score of dietary compliance before the intervention (P=0.07). But after the intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in the two groups (P < 0.001). Also, according to the results, the two groups did not have a statistically significant difference in terms of the average self-efficacy score before the intervention (P = 0.12). But after the intervention, a statistically significant difference was observed (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the findings and according to the effectiveness of the intervention, the use of telenursing in health policy related to chronic diseases can play an important role in increasing the health level of the society.
