Aim:
This review aimed to synthesize the available evidence on the effectiveness of nurse-led multidisciplinary interventions in primary health care.
Methods:
The following Chinese and English databases were searched for relevant articles: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), from the establishment of the databases until the last updating search 1 April 2022. Two researchers screened the studies independently and extracted the data. Meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software.
Results:
A total of 12 studies were included in this review. It was found that nurse-led multidisciplinary interventions significantly shortened patients' length of stay in hospital (standardized mean differences [SMD] = -1.28, 95%CI: -2.03 to -0.54; P<0.001) and decreased incidences of complications (RR = 0.24, 95%CI:0.10 to 0.54; P = 0.0006) compared to the control group, and lowered patients' anxiety levels (SMD = -1.21, 95%CI: -1.99 to -0.44; P<0.01) and depression levels (SMD = -1.85, 95%CI: -3.42 to -0.28; P<0.0001). Furthermore, the results of subgroup analysis indicated that nurse-led multidisciplinary interventions had significant effects on patients' self-management ability (SMD = 4.45, 95%CI:2.45 to 6.44; P<0.0001) and quality of life (SMD = 1.01, 95%CI: 0.63 to 1.40; P<0.0001) compared to the control group.
Conclusions:
Nurse-led multidisciplinary interventions had strong effects in primary health care, contributing to shorten patients' length of stay in hospital, decrease incidences of complications and reduce the levels of anxiety and depression. Moreover, nurse-led multidisciplinary interventions also improved patients' self-management ability and quality of life.
