Objective: To assess the effectiveness of remote monitoring in the knowledge of overweight women.
Method: Randomized clinical trial with 101 women, randomly assigned to the control group (CG=50) and to the intervention group (IG=51). The IG received educational intervention over the telephone, during three months and routine follow-up in the service, while the CG only received conventional follow-up. The knowledge was assessed by a specific questionnaire. Data were analyzed by the Robust Linear Regression Model, adopting a statistical significance of 5%.
Results: In the intragroup assessment, an increase in the correct answers with a statistically significant difference was observed only for the IG in the domains: "Concept and causes of overweight," "Complications of overweight" and "Eating habits." In the intergroup comparison, an increase in the average knowledge was verified in the same domains for the IG (p≤0.005).
Conclusion: nursing telemonitoring contributed positively to the improvement of women's knowledge.

Telemedicine can support home-based self-care for liver transplant recipients after discharge from the hospital. This study aimed to (1) provide an overview of the forms of home care for liver transplant patients; (2) identify the content elements of telemedicine in the home care of liver transplant patients; and (3) summarize the effect and outcome indexes of using telemedicine in liver transplantation patients. A search was performed in the electronic databases of PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar, CNKI, Wan Fang data and Wei Pu database through March 1, 2024.

Department of General Practice & Nursing Science, Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Background: Acute remote home monitoring of acutely ill patients with COVID-19 holds potential for early detection of deterioration and thus subsequentearly intervention that may prevent or mitigate progression to severe illness and need for respiratory support. Our aim was to describe common features of acute remote home monitoring programs for acutely ill patients with COVID-19 in the Netherlands.
Methods: We performed literature searches (both grey and academic) between 1st March 2020 and 1st March 2023 to identify Dutch acute remote home monitoring initiatives, excluding studies on early hospital discharge.
Implementation of an algorithm for predicting exacerbations in telemonitoring: A multimethod study of patients' and clinicians' experiences.
Int J Nurs Stud Adv
December 2024
Department of Health Science and Technology, Aalborg University, Gistrup, Denmark.
Background: Prediction algorithms may improve the ability of telehealth solutions to assess the risk of future exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Learning from patients' and clinicians' evaluations and experiences about the use of such algorithms is essential to evaluate its potential and examine factors that could potentially influence the implementation and sustained use.
Objective: To investigate the patients' and clinicians' perceptions and satisfaction with an algorithm for predicting exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Caregivers' Mastery in Handling Gastrostomy at Home after Educational Intervention: Qualitative Descriptive Study.

October 2024
School of Nursing, Federal University of Bahia, Salvador 40110-907, Brazil.
Background: Effective hospital discharge planning is crucial, particularly in educating caregivers on handling medical devices. This education helps manage the patient's signs and symptoms, prevents post-discharge complications, and reduces early readmissions. This study aimed to understand aspects involved in the acquisition of mastery by home caregivers, in handling care of a patient who just underwent gastrostomy, after educational intervention during hospitalization and telemonitoring upon return home.
