The effectiveness of nurse-led interventions on chronic disease management

Abstract

Chronic diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Diabetes Mellitus, and Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) impose significant burdens on global healthcare systems and affect millions of individuals worldwide. Nurse-led interventions have emerged as a pivotal strategy in the management of these conditions, offering a comprehensive approach that encompasses patient education, lifestyle modification, medication management, and psychosocial support. This review synthesizes current evidence on the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions in chronic disease management, highlighting their impact on improving patient outcomes, enhancing self-management capabilities, reducing hospital readmissions, and improving quality of life. Drawing on a variety of studies, this paper aims to provide a cohesive understanding of how nurse-led interventions contribute to better management of chronic diseases and outline the implications for practice, policy, and future research.
