Summary

This study tested whether regular phone counseling from a nurse (telenursing) could help people with bipolar disorder take their medication as prescribed and improve their daily functioning. 70 participants were split into two groups: one received eight weeks of telenursing, while the other got standard care only. Researchers measured medication adherence and functioning before and after the program.
