The Effect of Telehomecare on Patients’ Health-Related Quality of Life, Satisfaction, Disease Self-Management Skills, Provider Satisfaction, and Informal Caregiver Strain: Longitudinal Cohort and Cross-Sectional Study
In this population, telehomecare demonstrated an ability to improve the HRQoL of patients with HF and those with COPD. However, the long-term sustainability of HRQoL improvements in patients following telehomecare requires further investigation. Furthermore, telehomecare was shown to decrease informal caregiver-perceived strain, and nurses described moderate levels of satisfaction and perceived quality of care with telehomecare.
