Abstract(s)
Background: Follow-up telenursing is recommended as an effective strategy for reducing hospital admissions and associated costs. A telenursing service was implemented in an outpatient clinic to monitor patients with traumatic wounds.
Objective: To compare satisfaction and healthcare utilization among patients with traumatic wounds who received follow-up telenursing and those who did not.
Methodology: A descriptive-comparative study was conducted. The experimental group (n = 33) received follow-up telenursing in addition to conventional care, while the control group (n = 35) received conventional care only. The study was conducted between May and July 2022, with data collected via questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS® software. Ethical standards were observed.
Results: Males predominated in both groups, with a mean age of 40 years. The experimental group reported higher satisfaction with nursing care and lower use of in-person services (p ≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: Telenursing contributed to health improvements, supporting its potential as an effective tool for monitoring patients with traumatic wounds.
