The Effect of a Tidal Model-Based Approach Applied During Home Visits on Mental Health Parameters and Hospital Admission Frequency in COPD Patients
Sponsor: Kilis 7 Aralik University
Summary
Despite the recent increased interest in identifying the needs of COPD patients and improving disease management, monitoring the psychosocial well-being of these individuals remains insufficient. Nursing care that incorporates psychosocial approaches plays a critical role in halting disease progression and controlling symptoms in COPD management. The Tidal Model emerges as a vital tool in enhancing patient independence throughout this process. This recovery-oriented model provides a robust framework for individualized care by thoroughly analyzing patients' needs. It likens life to an ocean voyage and emphasizes learning how to cope with challenges encountered during this journey. The difficulties experienced by individuals with chronic illness and respiratory limitations are aligned with the Tidal Model's concepts of chaos and tides. Current studies indicate that psychological interventions for COPD patients have limited effectiveness in reducing psychological morbidity. Additionally, while interventions such as mindfulness-based and digital approaches show promise, their effects have not consistently proven significant across studies. This underscores the ongoing challenge of effectively addressing the psychological aspects of COPD and highlights the need for further research to identify more robust interventions. In this context, guided by the philosophy of the Tidal Model that emphasizes "helping individuals with problems in living," it has been hypothesized that the model would be suitable for use with individuals with COPD. The current study aims to evaluate its effectiveness.

Tidal Model Intervention
The model emphasizes long-term developmental care, extending support from hospital to home after discharge. This approach equips individuals with skills to understand and address challenges, emphasizing therapeutic interventions and sustained support through professionals or community groups. By focusing on the "chaos" and "tide" concepts of the Tidal Model, psychosocial interventions aim to enhance independence, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life. In this arm, Tidal Model-based approaches will be applied during home visits to COPD patients. Within the scope of the intervention, psychosocial needs of patients will be assessed, individualized care plans will be created and symptom management and independence will be promoted by focusing on the "chaos" and "tide" concepts of the Tidal Model.
