Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of face-to-face and distance nursing education, based on Pender's Health Promotion Model, on fatigue, pain, sleep, and urinary tract infections in MS patients who applied to the Multiple Sclerosis Outpatient Clinics of Sakarya Training and Research Hospital. With this research, the researcher aims to reduce MS symptoms and severity, prevent secondary problems, and improve quality of life.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

telenursing

The nurse researcher developed training modules for MS symptoms (pain, fatigue, sleep, and urinary tract infections) in consultation with experts. These training modules were then presented via an online application (e.g., WhatsApp software or internet access address creation) with the approval and support of training and IT experts. In this context, volunteer patients who met the study criteria received training three days a week for six weeks via telenursing. Furthermore, as part of the telenursing program, patients were given the opportunity to call the researcher for 10-15 minutes from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays if they needed telephone consultation (Dehghani et al., 2023).

OTHER

face to face education

A focus group training program was planned for patients who met the study inclusion criteria during the MS Outpatient Clinic Days (Tuesday-Thursday, 9:00-16:00) at Sakarya Training and Research Hospital. The training, prepared according to Pender's Health Promotion Model , was provided by the research nurse. The literature suggests that the ideal number of focus group interviews should be 4-10 people, and that the number of groups should not exceed 10 to facilitate group dynamics and interaction. In our study, a total of 3-5 focus group training sessions were conducted (Öner and Karabudak, 2021; Çokluk et al., 2011).

OTHER

Control arm

The control group received no intervention, and patients continued to receive their routine treatments. At the end of the study, volunteers in the control group received an Pender's Health Promotion Model-based education program prepared by the research nurse, either face-to-face or via telenursing, at their request.
