The Role of Nurse-Led Interventions in Enhancing Chronic Disease Management in Family Medicine Practices

Abstract

Aim: To explore the role of nurse-led interventions in enhancing chronic disease management within family medicine practices. Nurse-led interventions play a critical role in managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma by providing education, routine monitoring, and psychosocial support. These interventions improve clinical outcomes, empower patients to engage in self-management, and reduce healthcare costs by emphasizing prevention and early intervention. Nurses address both medical and behavioral aspects of care, bridging gaps in adherence and lifestyle changes. Despite challenges such as training gaps and time constraints, integrating technology and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration can optimize their effectiveness. Nurse-led approaches are vital in achieving patient-centered, efficient, and sustainable chronic disease management.
