Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using telemedicine to improve the quality of life of parents of infants with congenital heart disease surgery after discharge. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted in a provincial hospital in China from November 2020 to April 2021 to compare the quality of life of parents of infants with congenital heart disease surgery after discharge between the WeChat follow-up group and the outpatient follow-up group. A total of 84 patients (42 in each group) and 168 parents (84 in each group) participated in this study. Results One month after discharge, the SAS and SDS scores of parents in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the SAS and SDS scores at discharge, the scores of parents in the intervention group were significantly lower at one month after discharge (P<0.05), while the scores of parents in the control group were similar at one month after discharge (P>0.05). At discharge, in both the intervention group and the control group, the SAS and SDS scores of the mothers were higher than those of the fathers (P<0.05). One month after discharge, in the control group, the SAS and SDS scores of the mothers were higher than those of the fathers (P<0.05). One month after discharge, in the intervention group, the SAS and SDS scores of the mothers were similar to those of the fathers (P>0.05). The comparison of the SAS and SDS scores of parents with different education levels showed that in both the intervention group and control group, the lower the parents’ educational levels were, the higher their SAS and SDS scores were (P<0.05). One month after discharge, in the control group, the lower the parents’ education levels were, the higher their SAS and SDS scores (P<0.05). One month after discharge, in the intervention group, the SAS and SDS scores were similar among parents with different educational levels. The results of the WHOQOL-BREF scale showed that the scores of the physiological, psychological, social and environmental fields at one month after discharge in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Providing health education and medical support to the parents of infants with congenital heart disease surgery after discharge via telemedicine can effectively relieve the parents’ anxiety and depression and improve their quality of life.
