There are many methods that nurses use while providing care education to individuals. Tele-nursing, which is one of the current methods, is an innovative approach, but it is a useful method in meeting the post-discharge home care needs of patients who are dependent or partially dependent on others and who live in areas far from health care institutions. In today's health care delivery system, it is of great importance to develop a tele-nursing-based care approach by making effective infrastructure studies related to tele-nursing services. Although a limited number of studies have been conducted on different patient groups regarding the tele-nursing method in Turkey, no study has been found that determines the effect of tele-nursing education on patients' quality of life and self-care power in stroke patients. In this respect, it is thought that it is important to conduct studies that will examine the effects of tele-nursing on patients who need long-term care such as stroke at the national level. The aim of this study is to find out the effects of telenursing training based on self-care theory which was given to patients diagnosed with stroke on quality of life and self-care agency.

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by inefficient myocardial pumping with signs of pulmonary and systemic congestion. Its progressively deteriorating trajectory punctuated by episodes of acute disease decompensation, not only compromises patients' health-related quality of life (HRQL), but also causes a hospitalization epidemic. Indeed, this clinical cohort is characterized by exceptionally high readmission rate of 25% and 50% within 4 weeks and 6 months, respectively, with ineffective self-care being as the most prominent modifiable risk factor. Effective transitional care is crucial to enhance the patient outcomes and control the economic impact. However, the concerned service in Hong Kong is rather under-developed due to the human resource burden and inadequate integration of the primary and tertiary healthcare systems. In fact, family support is of utmost important to support the HF patients in the post-discharge period. Together with the advance in E-health intervention, this study aims to evaluate the effects and cost-effectiveness of a technology-based family-centered empowerment program (T-FAME) to enhance the self-care and post-discharge outcomes of this clinical cohort.
