Description

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the chronic diseases that cause the
highest mortality and high medical costs;, therefore medication adherence
and glycemic control are important in disease management, one of which is
through telenursing.
Purpose: To determine the telenursing model to improve medication
adherence and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: This study was designed a scoping review. The databases used
are CINAHL, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. Articles published
from 2016-2022 with appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thematic
analysis was used based on study design, telenursing communication
model, telenursing process, duration of telenursing and results.
Results: There were 12 relevant articles out of 2112 articles. We found a
telephone call follow up is the most common method used for delivery of
telenursing intervention. Telenursing intervention is implemented from at
least 3 months until 12 months, and includes the assessment of current
disease conditions, assessment of adherence to the prescribed treatment
plan, treatment plan information, and solutions or follow-up to current issue.
Conclusion: Telenursing can be used as a nursing care delivery model
in the diabetes mellitus type 2 patients because it is proven to reduce
glycemic control, improve treatment adherence, reduce body mass index
(BMI), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and cholesterol, and improve diet
adherence, physical exercise and self-management.
