“Chronic diseases represent one of the greatest challenges facing healthcare systems worldwide. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, and various other degenerative conditions, requires healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, to possess comprehensive competencies in providing safe, effective, patient-centered, and evidence-based nursing care. In the era of modern healthcare, clinical decision-making can no longer rely solely on experience; it must also be supported by the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patients’ values and preferences.”
