Aim.
Nurses can provide remote nursing care without the patient being physically present in a clinical setting, especially in the areas of tele-education, counselling, and telemonitoring. The goal was to create and implement the tele-education program of physical activity for mothers after a caesarean section and analyse its impact on their physical condition.
Material and methods.
The sample consisted of 411 participants with an average age of 31 years old. It was a quasi-experiment. To evaluate the effect of the tele-education program a self-constructed questionnaire was used. Data were processed using the Chi-square test and Cramer’s V.
Results.
Statistically signifi cant relationships were found between participation in the tele-education program and better physical condition of mothers after a caesarean section, specifi cally in terms of pain occurrence, wound healing, and gastrointestinal comfort.
Conclusions.
The fi ndings indicate the benefits of tele-education in gynaecological-obstetric nursing, suggesting that the development of telenursing is desirable and can contribute to increasing its accessibility, thereby aff ecting the quality of nursing care and satisfaction of mothers post-caesarean section.
