Brief summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of telenursing interventions based on the empowerment model in empowering patients with COPD.

Detailed description: Patient empowerment is gaining importance and popularity day by day as it can be sustained through telehealth applications. The importance of using communication technologies in providing health care services has become more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. When integrated into healthcare, technology-centric services provide continuous and easily accessible health data for patients and help facilitate self-monitoring. With tele-nursing, COPD patients can be strengthened in health literacy by teaching them how to access accurate and reliable resources. Through tele-nursing, online support groups and forums can be created among COPD patients so that patients can share their experiences with each other. In this way, social support is provided to patients who have to remain in social isolation due to their illness.
