Summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the Dynamic Blended Learning Module developed for patients diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension (PH) on symptom management.

Pulmonary hypertension is a chronic disease that can cause symptoms that make daily life difficult, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, dizziness, fainting, anxiety, body pain, edema, and sleep problems. These symptoms can negatively affect patients' daily lives and treatment process.

This study examined whether a structured program involving education and regular follow-up helped patients better manage their symptoms.

As part of the program, patients received face-to-face education and regular phone calls were made throughout the nine-month follow-up period. The education sessions provided information about the course of the disease, the correct use of medications, and possible side effects. Patients were instructed on how to manage side effects such as muscle and jaw pain, facial redness, nausea, and abdominal bloating. Additionally, they were informed about when and how to contact the healthcare team if any issues arose.

In one part of the program, a video showing the experiences of a patient who effectively managed their illness was shown to participants in the intervention group.

Patients were monitored for nine months and their symptoms were assessed at regular intervals. The program's effect on symptom management was evaluated by comparing it with patients receiving standard care.

Symptom Management

This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of education and expert patient experience in symptom management. In the intervention group, the symptoms experienced by each patient were identified and addressed using a Dynamic Blended Education Module (DBEM). This included individualized education, telephone follow-up to monitor and support process management, and an educational video presenting the experiences of a patient who effectively managed their own symptoms. The video content was shared with participants to facilitate symptom management. Follow-ups and outcome assessments were conducted at 3, 6, and 9 months, aligned with routine outpatient visits. In the control group, only standard hospital protocols were applied, and results were compared between the two groups.
