Abstract

Chronic diseases pose a significant global health challenge, necessitating comprehensive and patient-centered approaches to achieve optimal outcomes. The impact of chronic diseases is manifold, affecting individuals, communities, and healthcare systems profoundly. The widespread prevalence of chronic diseases is a primary challenge. Nurses play a crucial role as educators, providing vital information on chronic conditions, treatment plans, and self-management strategies to empower patients. Their holistic approach extends beyond clinical care, involving collaboration with patients to devise personalized and sustainable lifestyle plans. The motivation for this research stems from the recognition of nurses' pivotal role in delivering holistic care, education, and support for individuals facing long-term health conditions. A thorough literature review, utilizing databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane, was conducted to identify existing evidence and gaps in understanding the outcomes associated with nurse-led interventions in chronic disease management. The study primarily aims to investigate how nurse-led initiatives contribute to improvements in clinical parameters, enhance quality of life, increase patient satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. Through personalized education, medication management, lifestyle modifications, and care coordination, nurses uniquely influence positive changes in patients' health behaviors and overall well-being. The study particularly emphasizes the role of nurses as advocates for health equity, addressing care disparities through culturally competent interventions and community engagement. Moreover, nurse-led initiatives demonstrate cost-effectiveness by preventing complications and reducing healthcare utilization. Importantly, evidence suggests that nurses also act as advocates for health equity, working towards the reduction of disparities through culturally competent interventions and community engagement.
