About

This study aimed to (1) develop an internet-based psychiatric nursing intervention, based on Swanson's theory of caring, and (2) examine its effects on functional health, resilience, social support, post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety.

This study was a randomized clinical trial(RCT) study with repeated measures to identify the effectiveness of an internet-based psychiatric nursing intervention. Participants were evaluated at the following time points: pre-test (pre), post-test (post-test 1, immediately after intervention), and follow-up (post-test 2, one month after the intervention) to assess the sustainability of the internet-based psychiatric nursing intervention.

Of the 112 women who enrolled in the study, 10 dropped out before post-test 1, resulting in 102 participants who completed all interventions and surveys.
