Abstract

Chronic illnesses present a hurdle in the field of healthcare in community settings. This review of existing literature delves into the role of community nursing interventions when it comes to managing diseases. It sheds light on their effectiveness challenges and potential areas for improvement. Chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and respiratory ailments contribute substantially to both mortality rates and morbidity levels. They also place a burden on healthcare systems. Community nursing interventions play a role in addressing these diseases in underserved and rural communities. These strategies include programs, self-management initiatives, home visits, telehealth services, and coordinated care. Research indicates that these approaches have been successful in improving outcomes and reducing the burden, on healthcare systems. To fully maximize the benefits of these interventions we need to overcome obstacles that come our way. Issues such as staffing shortages, the need for training among nurses involved in community care, and the seamless integration of technology must be addressed to optimize their effectiveness. To further advance the field of community nursing interventions for disease management, future research should focus on developing strategies to overcome these challenges effectively. In addition to evaluate the long-term impact of community nursing interventions to understand how effective they are.
