Main Article Content
Keywords
Diabetes, medication adherence, nursing interventions, patient education, behavioral strategies
Abstract
This critical review focuses on nursing interventions that enhance medication compliance in patients with diabetes, based on a systematic search of the literature. Medication compliance is central to diabetes management while patients find it difficult to follow prescribed regimes because of barriers. Nursing interventions include educational, behavioral, technological, and supportive measures specific to adherence promotion and health outcomes. The review also outlines some of the best practices like patient education programs, motivational interviewing, telehealth applications, and peer support groups. Other challenges include socioeconomic differences, the healthcare system constraints, and the barriers to practice related to the nurse. Future directions include the focus on large-scale, long-term research, comparative efficacy trials, and social determinants interventions. Thus, by promoting the integration of research findings and utilizing new technologies, nurses can contribute significantly to the improvement of diabetes care and patient outcomes.
