The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of telehealth in improving health-related quality of life and security perceptions in end-of-life palliative care.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing telehealth to standard palliative care.
Focused on patients receiving end-of-life care, assessing various health outcomes.
Utilized quantitative measures to evaluate health-related quality of life and perceived security.
No significant prevention of declines in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) or sense of security was observed.
Patients in the telehealth group (TPG) reported more stability in their perceived health.
Telepal may enhance palliative care by providing support to those unable to make in-person visits.

Resumen

Telepal did not prevent declines in HRQoL or sense of security; however, perceived health remained more stable in the TPG. Telepal may serve as a complementary component of palliative care, particularly for patients facing barriers to in-person visits.
