Nurse-Led Educational Interventions Significantly Improve Treatment Adherence and Psychosocial Outcomes in Chemotherapy Patients: A Meta-analysis

Our meta-analysis suggests that nurse-led educational interventions may significantly improve treatment adherence and associated psychosocial outcomes among chemotherapy patients, although causality cannot be definitively established due to the observational nature of the included studies. These findings support the routine integration of structured nursing education into oncology care to enhance patient engagement and optimize therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract

Our meta-analysis suggests that nurse-led educational interventions may significantly improve treatment adherence and associated psychosocial outcomes among chemotherapy patients, although causality cannot be definitively established due to the observational nature of the included studies. These findings support the routine integration of structured nursing education into oncology care to enhance patient engagement and optimize therapeutic outcomes.
