About

The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the effect of video-assisted training on the quality of life and symptom management of patients over the age of 65. The main questions it aims to answer are:

-Is there a difference between symptom management and quality of life between the first and last follow-up periods of patients in the application and control groups?

Full description

Heart failure is the primary disease of old age. 20% of the reasons for hospital admission for patients aged 65 and over are due to heart failure.The most common symptoms in patients with heart failure are; fatigue, weakness, dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, edema and changes in mental status.Due to these physical symptoms; there is a decrease in the functional capacity of patients, difficulty in performing daily life activities, inability to perform self-care, and the incidence of depression and anxiety increases.

In symptom management of patients with heart failure; these include knowing the clinical course of the disease, adapting to the disease and treatment, monitoring symptoms, educating the patient on self-care, and regular follow-up after discharge.It is stated that with patient education given to individuals in a planned and regular manner, the frequency and severity of the symptoms experienced decreases, the management and control of the disease is ensured, and thus the patient's quality of life is increased by creating the necessary behavioral changes.Due to the increase in the number of internet users in patient education, web-based education becomes more prominent.Thanks to video training, patients will be able to experience a permanent learning process by accessing the training content wherever they want, as often as they want.
