Abstract

Nursing interventions are pivotal in promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors among adult populations, significantly impacting public health and chronic disease prevention. Nurses play a crucial role through personalized counseling, goal setting, and follow-up, integral for fostering sustainable lifestyle changes. These interventions effectively address areas such as dietary modifications, increased physical activity, smoking cessation, and alcohol moderation, demonstrating notable success in improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Despite the efficacy of these programs, various challenges hinder their implementation and sustainability across diverse populations. Socioeconomic disparities, cultural differences, and systemic healthcare issues restrict access to and effectiveness of these interventions. However, nurse-led programs continue to show significant benefits in managing and preventing chronic diseases. The methodology of these interventions often involves motivational interviewing and the utilization of digital tools for monitoring and feedback, enhancing patient engagement and accountability. The enduring challenge remains maintaining these lifestyle changes over time, requiring innovative strategies for long-term success. The integration of culturally competent and personalized care is essential in advancing the effectiveness of these health-promotion interventions, and future research should aim to innovate and expand these successful programs to a broader spectrum of the population
