The tele-nursing services is a method of technology that can apply for visiting home heal care and caring for older adult in the community. This quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design to investigate the effects of a self-management promotion program for homebound older adults utilizing tele-nursing services in the Mueang Sa Kaeo District community. The sample consisted of 30 homebound older adults residing in Sa Kaeo Province. Research instruments included: (1) a tele-nursing service program designed to enhance self-management among homebound older adults, with a content validity index (CVI) of 1.00, (2) a personal information questionnaire; and (3) an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessment form. The study was conducted between February and June 2024. Data were analyzed using frequency and percentages. Differences in ADL scores before and after the intervention were examined using the Dependent t-test. The results revealed that prior to the intervention, the average ADL score was 7.57 out of 20. After participating in the program, the average score increased to 11.03 out of 20. Statistical analysis indicated a significant improvement in ADL scores following the implementation of the self-management promotion program using tele-nursing services (p < .001).
