Abstract

Background: Patients with sinusitis are usually treated with endoscopic sinus surgery. The need for improve healthcare services quality has been recognized by health-related information and advanced technologies.  Video modeling could benefit clinical practices in facilitating knowledge retention and improved self-care. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation with exercise training in improving health outcomes for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: The study will be conducted in the nose, ear, throat, and maxillofacial unit and outpatient clinics affiliated to Mansoura University Hospitals. A purposive sample of 50 patients was studied by the following tools: a structured interview questionnaire, Rhinosinusitis Disability Index (RSDI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: there was no statistically significant difference between the study and control group pre-intervention.  Post-intervention, the video modeling group showed significant improvement in knowledge level compared to the control group (0.002*), sleep quality (0.014*), and quality of life (0.0001*). Conclusions: Conclusion: Video modeling had potential benefits for clinical practices in facilitating knowledge retention and improved self-care practice among patients treated with endoscopic sinus surgery. It is recommended to use Video Modeling as a routine part of care for patients after Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.
