Project Overview

The research project titled "The Impact of Telehealth on Chronic Disease Management in Older Adults" aims to investigate the effectiveness and implications of utilizing telehealth technology in the management of chronic diseases among older adults. This study seeks to address the growing need for innovative healthcare solutions to support the aging population with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. The use of telehealth, which involves the delivery of healthcare services remotely through telecommunication technologies, has gained significant attention in recent years as a potential solution to improve access to care and enhance health outcomes, particularly for older adults who may face challenges in accessing traditional healthcare services. By exploring the impact of telehealth on chronic disease management in this population, this research project aims to contribute valuable insights to the field of nursing and healthcare. The project will begin with a comprehensive literature review to examine existing research studies, theories, and evidence related to telehealth interventions in chronic disease management among older adults. This review will help establish a solid foundation for understanding the current landscape of telehealth applications in healthcare and identify gaps in the literature that warrant further investigation. Subsequently, the research methodology will be described, outlining the study design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures to be employed in the research. By employing a rigorous and systematic approach, this study aims to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings generated. The findings of the study will be presented and discussed in detail in Chapter Four, highlighting the impact of telehealth interventions on various aspects of chronic disease management in older adults, such as medication adherence, symptom monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and patient outcomes. The discussion will also explore the potential benefits, challenges, and implications of integrating telehealth technologies into the care of older adults with chronic conditions. In conclusion, Chapter Five will summarize the key findings of the study and provide recommendations for healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and researchers on how to leverage telehealth effectively in the management of chronic diseases among older adults. By shedding light on the impact of telehealth in this context, this research project aims to contribute to the advancement of nursing practice, improve patient care outcomes, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for older adults living with chronic conditions.
