Chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure present a significant burden on healthcare systems globally. Effective management of these conditions often requires ongoing care and monitoring, which can be challenging for both patients and healthcare providers. Nurse-led interventions have emerged as a promising approach to improving patient outcomes in chronic disease management. This paper explores the impact of nurse-led interventions on patient outcomes, particularly focusing on patient education, self-management, and monitoring. Evidence suggests that nurse-led interventions can improve patient knowledge, medication adherence, and clinical outcomes, leading to better overall disease management. The paper reviews existing literature on nurse-led models of care and their effectiveness in enhancing patient outcomes, discussing both the benefits and challenges associated with these interventions.
