Nurse-Led Care Coordination Model for Managing Patients With Multiple Chronic Conditions
Vol.2(2); Pages:1-8. Published on November 2025
Abstract
Multimorbidity or the presence of two or more chronic conditions in one patient is a serious challenge to healthcare systems, which almost inevitably results in inefficient and ineffective care fragmentation. This article provides the progression of a nurse-directed care coordination model targeted at the increase of continuity of care of individuals with multimorbidity. The model lays its focus on active case management, integrated provision of services, on personalized care planning by advanced practice nurses. The model was created based on stakeholder consultation combined with evidence synthesis and the process of iterative prototyping; it is patient-focused and places an emphasis on interprofessional collaboration and integration at the system level. Observational assessment shows that there are better care experiences, better clinical outcomes, and fewer hospital admissions. The present job can provide a customizable model to the healthcare systems willing to enhance the quality and organization of care to the individuals with multiple chronic conditions.

Vol.2(2); Pages:9-17. Published on November 2025
Abstract
Rehabilitation plays an important part of the patient care cycle during which the attitude towards patient care changes, as the primary focus becomes achieving the functional level of recuperation and reintegration to the life of a regular individual. Nurses are important in this as they coordinate care, encourage independent activities of patients, administer forms of treatment and support patients psychologically. They treat rehabilitation as a whole and it is not just the physical aspect but also emotional and social sensitive. In this paper, you will read about nurses as major players in multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams, and their roles in motivating patients, and goal establishment, teaching, and the course of continued recovery.

Perspectives of Elderly Portuguese on Residing in Care Facilities: Rebuilding the Reputation of Long-Term Care in Post-COVID Era
Vol.2(2); Pages:18-24. Published on November 2025
Abstract
The paper investigates how older Portuguese adults view residential care facility life, and through the screening of their attitudes, preconceptions, and expectations, it attempts to determine how the research participants would consider residential care facility life during post-pandemic recovery. The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the perception of people about long-term care (LTC) institutions negatively, promoting more vulnerabilities than safety nets in most cases. Through interviews and focus groups analysis of the qualitative data, this study finds the major determinants that may affect the attitudes of the residents, such as the social stigma, autonomy, trust, and emotional well-being. The results give an idea of the way the LTC homes can change their image, enhance person-centered care, and restore the trust of the community in a post-pandemic world.

Elevating Mental Health Nursing: Opposing the Erosion of Specialist Pre Registration Training in the UK
Vol.2(2); Pages:25-32. Published on November 2025
Abstract
Developing trends in the United Kingdom in nurse education have attracted major concerns in light of what is termed as dilution of specialist pre-registration training of mental health nurses. This trend to the generalization of nursing programs undermines the level of expertise necessary to adequately meet the challenging mental health needs. The specific competencies, standards of treatment, and long-term relational work required by Mental health nursing cannot be developed adequately during such general and nonspecialistized curricula. The current paper will propose to preserve and improve specialised mental health nurse education to make sure the profession can continue to serve the UK as mental health problems are increasing. Offering the analysis of the policy evolution, professional guidelines, and educational structures, the discussion demonstrates the threats of de-specialization and promotes the refreshment of the expertise in mental health at the basic training stage.

Nursing Interventions for Managing Dyspnea In Oncology Patients: A Scoping Review
Vol.2(2); Pages:33-39. Published on November 2025
Abstract
Dyspnea or breathlessness is a widely known and usually disabling symptom, which can affect cancer patients, especially during their advanced stages. It significantly disables physical performance, mental health, and the general state of life. The proposed scoping review will map the extent of nursing interventions focused to address dyspnea in cancer care. In accordance with the framework proposed by Arksey and O Malley, the recent literature published during the past decade was searched in various databases to identify the variety of clinical and supportive care initiatives aimed at the leadership administered by nurses. Types of interventions were breathing techniques, patient positioning, emotional support, pharmacologic coordination, integrative therapies, which have been widely mentioned. Importance of indivisible care plans, patient education, and interdisciplinary collaboration also are mentioned in the review. Although diverse and various practices exist, there is a lack of consistency in practice and scarcity of high-level evidence to address a need to conduct vigorous research to support and provide high standards of homogenous nursing interventions in oncology breathlessness.
