The purpose of this study is to evaluate QbMobile's ability to collect objective data to identify specific symptom profiles in differential diagnoses (ASD, MDD, Bipolar Disorder and Anxiety Disorder) that are common with ADHD.

The Effect of Telenursing on Functionality and Treatment Adherence in Bipolar Disorder

This research is a randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest-posttest design, conducted to determine the effect of telenursing counseling on functionality and treatment adherence levels in patients with bipolar disorder. First, patients followed up with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder at the Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) were evaluated by the researcher through face-to-face interviews in terms of the inclusion criteria. Patients who met the criteria and voluntarily agreed to participate in the study were informed about the research, and their written informed consent was obtained. Subsequently, the participants were assigned to the experimental and control groups by an independent faculty member using a stratified block randomization method. Following the randomization process, a nurse working at the Community Mental Health Center administered the Descriptive Information Form, the Short Functioning Assessment Scale, and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale to both groups face-to-face as a pretest. After the baseline measurements, an eight-week telenursing counseling intervention was implemented with the patients in the experimental group. No intervention was provided to the control group; they only received standard treatment and care services. At the end of the eight-week period, the same nurse working at the CMHC administered the SFAS and MMAS scales again, and the posttest measurements were obtained.
