Project Overview:
The project titled “Exploring the impact of telehealth in managing chronic conditions among elderly population in rural settings: A qualitative study” aims to investigate the effectiveness of telehealth in managing chronic conditions among the elderly living in rural areas. The project will focus on understanding how telehealth services can be utilized to provide necessary healthcare support to the elderly population with chronic conditions who may face challenges in accessing traditional healthcare services due to their geographical location.
Objectives of the Study:
- Assess the current healthcare accessibility and challenges faced by the elderly population with chronic conditions in rural settings.
- Explore the utilization and acceptance of telehealth services among the elderly population in managing their chronic conditions.
- Examine the impact of telehealth on health outcomes, quality of life, and overall well-being of the elderly population with chronic conditions in rural settings.
- Identify the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of telehealth services for managing chronic conditions among the elderly in rural areas.
- Provide recommendations for improving the effectiveness and adoption of telehealth services for the elderly population with chronic conditions in rural settings.
Methodology:
The study will employ a qualitative research approach to gather in-depth insights and perspectives from elderly individuals living in rural areas who have chronic conditions. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions will be conducted to collect data on their experiences with telehealth services, challenges faced in managing their chronic conditions, and the impact of telehealth on their healthcare management. Thematic analysis will be used to analyze the qualitative data and identify key themes and patterns.
Expected Outcomes:
- A better understanding of the role of telehealth in managing chronic conditions among the elderly population in rural settings.
- Insights into the barriers and facilitators of using telehealth services for healthcare management in rural areas.
- Recommendations for healthcare providers, policymakers, and stakeholders to enhance the provision of telehealth services for the elderly with chronic conditions in rural settings.
- Potential contributions to the existing literature on telehealth and healthcare access for the elderly population.
Significance of the Study:
With the growing elderly population in rural areas and the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, the study findings will contribute to improving healthcare delivery and support for this vulnerable population. By exploring the impact of telehealth services, the study aims to bridge the gap in healthcare access and provide valuable insights for developing strategies to enhance the management of chronic conditions among the elderly in rural settings.
