Background

: Regular exercise is important for overall health and should be a part of daily routine of patient with anemia. Telenursing

(providing nursing care at a distance) is an efficient technique for transporting educational services for anemic patients to their homes

that consequently promote nurse-patient relationship, safe time and reduce the cost of treatment.

Aim

: Aim of this study is to investigate the effects of exercise training combined with three months nurse–telephone follow up calls

on dietary habits and fatigue level among adult patient with anemia.

Design & Method

: A quasi experimental study was conducted on 60 anemic patients who were selected randomly in medicine

department and hematology outpatient clinic of Menoufia university hospitals using three tools of data collection; structured

interviewing questionnaire to assess the patients’ sociodemographic and medical data; dyspnea analogue scale to assess exercise

tolerance and; fatigue scale. Exercise training was specific for the study subjects and they were followed by telephone follow up calls

for three months by the researchers.

Results

: All anemic patients suffer from fatigue before intervention. With telenursing follow up calls, the total score of fatigue

were decreased after one month of exercise performance than before and continuously decreased after three months of exercise

performance. Also the dietary habits were changed to better after intervention.

Conclusion

: The exercise training combined with follow up calls was effective in improving dietary habits and decreasing fatigue

level among anemic patients. It is suggested for performing and training the regular exercises as a routine care for anemic population.
