"Nursing Interventions for Patients with Autoimmune Disorders in Medical-Surgical Units"

Abstract: Autoimmune disorders represent a group of conditions characterized by an abnormal immune response, leading to chronic inflammation, systemic complications, and organ damage. In medical-surgical units, patients with these disorders require specialized care tailored to managing acute episodes, post-surgical recovery, and long-term disease management. This article reviews evidence-based nursing interventions, including symptom management, complication prevention, patient education, psychosocial support, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Emphasis is placed on understanding the unique challenges and providing holistic, patient-centered care to improve outcomes and quality of life.
