Abstract
VILLAR JIMENEZ, Alessandra M.; MATZUMURA-KASANO, Juan P. and GUTIERREZ-CRESPO, Hugo F.. Teleorientation and telemonitoring of food intake in patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Horiz. Med. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.1, e1757. Epub Mar 03, 2022. ISSN 1727-558X. http://dx.doi.org/10.24265/horizmed.2022.v22n1.06.
Objective:
To describe the food intake of patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus before and after teleorientation and telemonitoring sessions.
Materials and methods:
A quasi-experimental study conducted with 80 participants with a diagnosis of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, whose food intake was evaluated at the beginning of the intervention and at the end of the scheduled teleorientation and telemonitoring sessions.
Results:
At the beginning of the intervention, only 6.25 % of the participants showed an adequate food intake, which increased to 71.25 % at the end of the scheduled teleorientation and telemonitoring sessions.
Conclusions:
The implementation of a nutrition teleorientation and telemonitoring system in patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus improves their food intake, thus confirming the efficacy of using ICTs in health interventions for the benefit of the population.
Keywords : Teleorientation; Telemonitoring; Telenutrition; Diabetes Mellitus; Hypertension.
