The Critical Role of Nursing in Managing Chronic Diseases: Enhancing Patient Outcomes and Healthcare Efficiency

Abstract

The prevalence of chronic diseases is one of the most significant challenges facing healthcare systems, especially with the increasing population and the increasing prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases. Chronic diseases require long-term management and continuous monitoring, which places a strain on healthcare providers. Nurses, including nurses and nursing technicians, play a pivotal role in the management of chronic diseases by providing personalized care that includes patient education, comprehensive assessment, medication adherence support, and psychological assistance. Nurses also contribute to the multidisciplinary care team, ensuring coordination of care plans and promoting positive health outcomes. This review highlights the important role of nursing professionals in the management of chronic diseases, focusing on their contributions to patient education, monitoring, emotional support, and overall healthcare delivery. By addressing the needs of patients with chronic diseases, nurses help improve patient adherence, reduce hospital admissions, and enhance overall quality of care.
