This research centers on interventions led by nurses in the field of cardiovascular healthcare, particularly emphasizing self-management programs for patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). These initiatives focus on patient engagement, enhancing their knowledge about their health conditions, and equipping them with the skills required for informed decision-making in healthcare. The study highlights nurses’ crucial role in educating patients about symptom recognition, medication adherence, and lifestyle changes. Nurse-led interventions can significantly transform CVD care by focusing on patient education and empowerment, making patients active participants in managing their health. This approach enhances patient outcomes and adds to the overall effectiveness and sustainability of healthcare services, as educated patients are more likely to engage in practices that promote heart health and prevent complications. The study also underscores the importance of nurses in patient education and specialized care, highlighting their contributions to reducing patient safety risks and improving the quality of care in areas such as medication administration. These insights into nurse-led interventions and specialized training underscore the importance of continuous learning and patient-centered approaches in nursing practice.
