dc.description.abstract	Purpose: This study was conducted to determine if postoperative nurse-driven telehealth visits for patients undergoing septorhinoplasty decreased patient anxiety while improving comfort and satisfaction levels. Design: The present study was an intervention-control study completed with a total of 320 participants (n = 160, intervention group; n = 160, control group). The intervention postseptorhinoplasty training using the telenursing method was conducted at three time points in this study; preoperatively-postoperatively, on days 3, and 10. Methods: Data were collected from a group of patients undergoing septorhinoplasty in the Ear, Nose, and Throat department of a University Hospital in Turkey between October 2021 and February 2022. The data collected in the study were evaluated with the SPSS 23.00 program and were analyzed with the independent sample t test for two independent groups and the F test (ANOVA) for more than two groups. Correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between scales, and P < .05 was considered statistically significant. Findings: In the postoperative period, the mean anxiety inventory score of the experimental group was found to be significantly lower than that of the control group (P < .01). Telenursing increased the satisfaction and comfort of the patients and shortened the discharge time. There was a negative and statistically significant relationship between satisfaction and State Anxiety Inventory and Trait Anxiety Inventory (r = -0.715, r = -0.739, P < .01). Conclusions: This study confirms the importance of postoperative telenursing for septorhinoplasty patients in promoting continuity of care, reducing anxiety and discharge time, improving comfort and satisfaction levels during the Covid-19 pandemic. Remote care was well received during the study and should be used more frequently. There is a need for further research regarding telehealth; and the international incentives and regulations which will be needed to make telenursing a standard of care should be pursued.	tr
