Summary

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.

Detailed description

In the face of the global digital transformation, the leadership role of nurses is essential for developing digital health skills and implementing innovative strategies. In the context of coronary artery disease (CAD), telenursing has emerged as a crucial care strategy for monitoring patients, managing risk factors, promoting self-care, and enhancing quality of life. The researchers will examine the prevalence of comorbidities and risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the two study groups. They will also compare adherence to the proposed treatment and knowledge about CAD. Finally, they will draw up a protocol for telenursing consultations for patients with CAD undergoing coronary angioplasty. This protocol will be used at the institution.

Conditions

• Coronary Artery Disease
• Cardiovascular Diseases

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Telenursing consultation	Telenursing consultations, which will be carried out via telephone calls, video calls, or messaging platforms, will be held between one, three, and five months after the first consultation. The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA-I), the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), and the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) taxonomies will be used to structure these consultations.
