The Impact Of Nurse-Led Health Literacy Initiatives On Patient Understanding

Abstract

With the growing number of nurse-led clinics in response to the requirements of the health system, the assessment has mostly focused on clinical results and cost. Although patient experiences have received less academic attention, they play a crucial role in therapeutic outcomes and serve as an indication of person-centred treatment. It is necessary to do a comprehensive analysis of the current research in this field. To evaluate the qualitative evidence about the variables that influence the experience of patients who visit nurse-led clinics and compare it with the essential components of person-centred care. The published research was retrieved from databases such as CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and PsycINFO. The main topics concerning the creation of a therapeutic connection, efficient communication, and professional skills and teamwork strongly aligned with the person-centred care paradigm. Factors related to person-centred care significantly influenced patients' subjective experience. Additional research is necessary to address the task of implementing the fundamental principles of the person-centred care model into routine nursing practice.
