The Effect of nurses telephone follow-up (Telenursing) on the self-efficacy of dietary behavior and physical activity in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease referred to subspeciality gastrointestinal Clinics of Shiraz
This study examines the impact of nurse telephone follow-up on the self-efficacy of nutritional behavior and physical activity in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Inclusion criteria included capability to perform moderate physical activity; confirmed by medical professionals; accessibility to a telephone at home, while, exclusion criteria included a history of chronic liver disease; hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism; diabetes mellitus; alcohol consumption; drug abuse.In this interventional study, we enrolled 60 patients (30 patients in control groups and 30 patients in case groups) with NAFLD. Selective sampling was used to randomize the participants into case and control groups. The patients received dietary advice from a nutritionist individually and were trained to perform physical activity. Telephone intervention in the case group lasted for 12 weeks; while, the control group did not receive any follow-ups by the researcher and were only followed up as usual by a specialist. Before and after intervention, Questionnaires related to the self-efficacy of dietary behavior and physical activity were completed by study participants and also measurements (height, weight and BMI) was done by the researcher and all the patients were referred to assess blood test and to determine the liver size by ultrasound. Finally, the impact of nurse telephone follow-up on the self-efficacy of nutritional behavior and physical activity in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver examine by using the Statistics test.
