This research is a quasi-experimental study with a two-group pretest-posttest design to compare the average scores of knowledge and self-care behavior after contracting Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The sample consisted of patients in the yellow group who had lung function problems due to COVID-19 infection. Each group comprised 50 participants, selected through purposive sampling and divided into an experimental group and a control group, totaling 100 participants. The instrument used was a self-care knowledge promotion program utilizing wireless technology, which assessed the knowledge and behavior of patients after COVID-19 infection. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze general data through frequency distribution, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, while inferential statistics were used for comparison analysis with the t-test.
The research findings revealed that: 1) Patients who received the program had significantly higher self-care knowledge after the experiment at the .05 level of significance. 2) Patients who received the program exhibited significantly better self-care behavior after the experiment at the .05 level of significance.
Recommendations: The research results can be applied, and further studies should follow up on patients’ behaviors in preventing COVID-19 after receiving the program in the long term to assess the program’s sustainability.
