“…Telenursing intervention is not a treatment, and it is aimed at changing the behavior of PWT2D through education. Previous telenursing studies showed that the nurses educated patients about the administration of insulin, observed symptoms of diabetes complications, and improved appropriate use of medical care by different methods of telecommunications technologies [ 11 , 12 , 38 ]. The information that PWT2D receive during telenursing programs enables them to actively participate in their treatment and take responsibility for their health.…”

“…One of these methods is telenursing, which uses information technology and remote communication in nursing to help physicians and nurses check whether people with type 2 diabetes have enough adherences to the treatment, analyze their condition, and suggest nursing recommendations. This method can potentially increase the ability of people with type 2 diabetes to achieve better control and improve their health status [ 11 ]. In general, telenursing is a subset of telehealth and is often used when the distance between the patient and the health center is large [ 12 ].…”

Background and Aim. Diabetes is the most common chronic metabolic disease worldwide, requiring life-term follow-up. Telenursing is a suitable method to provide care to people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The present review assessed the effect of telenursing compared to routine care on the outcomes of people with T2DM. Method. A comprehensive search of online databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, was performed using the following MeSH keywords: telenursing, telephone follow-up, diabetes mellitus, disease management, glycemic, self-care, treatment adherence, and quality of life, up to September 2023. Two reviewers independently screened pertinent studies based on the prespecified outcomes (treatment adherence, self-care, glycemic control, and quality of life) and extracted data from all eligible studies. Results. Of all retrieved records, 23 studies including 5 quasiexperimental (21%) and 18 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (79%) from five continents met the inclusion criteria. Both male and female patients were considered in the included studies, with mean age of 56.2 years old and a follow-up range of 12 weeks to 18 months. Findings showed that telenursing or nurse telephone follow-up significantly increased mean self-care efficacy score, improved adherence to the treatment regimen, decreased glycosylated hemoglobin and plasma glucose levels (but not lipid profile and body mass index), and improved quality of life compared to the routine care in people with T2DM. Conclusion. Telenursing can effectively supplement healthcare professionals to manage PWT2D. Increasing patients’ knowledge about their drugs, insulin administration, and diabetes complications improves self-care behaviors and medical adherence. Consistently, improved self-care and regular use of treatment result in improved metabolic indicators and decreased rate of complications, which is associated with a better quality of life.
