Background: In the COVID-19 era, social media has a significant benefit in terms of rapid transmission of instructional content.Objective: To examine the effectiveness of social media-based nursing instructions on improving knowledge, and remote self-health monitoring for suspected covid-19 cases during quarantine. Setting: Screening unit of Main University Hospital, and Cardiology Hospital at Assiut University Hospitals. Patients: A total of ninety-three patients were chosen by purposive sampling technique. Design: Quasi (Pre–Post-test) experimental study. Tool: A structured interview-based questionnaire contained; Demographic profile, Quarantine patients’ knowledge assessment, & Daily quarantined patient's self-health monitoring. Results: The mean age was 40.86 years, with the majority being females. There was a highly statistically significant difference between pre/post of total knowledge score regarding Covid-19 and quarantine measures (15.52 ± 6.79, 29.29 ± 2.21) respectively presented by P value (0.001**). Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference between patients' educational level and their pre-total knowledge score (P-Value = 0.001**). Conclusion: Social media-based nursing instructions can be a useful tool for enhancing knowledge and remote self-health monitoring of suspected Covid-19 cases while they are quarantined. Recommendations: More research is needed to see how satisfied patients are with social media-based nursing guidance, as well as remote self-health monitoring. |
