Telenursing in Coronary Artery Disease: Randomized Clinical Trial and Patient Collaboration
The aim of this research is to determine whether follow-up through telehealth consultations can enhance adherence to medication and increase knowledge about heart disease in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who have undergone coronary angioplasty. It can include individuals of any sex or gender, aged over 18, and with access to communication devices such as a cell phone, tablet, or internet-enabled computer. The main questions to be answered are:
* Does follow-up of patients with CAD through telenursing consultations improve adherence to the proposed treatment? * Does the follow-up of patients with CAD, through telenursing consultations, improve knowledge about heart disease? The researchers will compare these patients with others who will be followed up as usual at the hospital to determine which group shows better adherence to drug treatment and greater knowledge about heart disease. The participants will have telenursing consultations at three intervals: one, three, and five months after the initial consultation. After six months from the first interview, both groups will be assessed. They will also be invited to participate in an activity to share their experiences and identify research priorities in the field, with the option to collaborate on future research.
Inclusion: Patients undergoing coronary angioplasty who have access to communication devices (mobile phone, tablet or computer with internet access).
Exclusion: Patients with serious comorbidities that prevent remote monitoring, those without access to the necessary technology for remote nursing, and those with a diagnosis that prevents communication.
