Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of community nursing interventions in improving the health outcomes of long-term ill older adults, a demographic increasingly challenging modern healthcare systems.

Methods: A mixed-methods approach was adopted, encompassing a quantitative analysis of health outcomes in a cohort of long-term ill older adults receiving community nursing care, and qualitative interviews with healthcare providers and patients. Data were collected over a 12-month period, focusing on key health metrics, patient satisfaction, and overall quality of life.

Results: Preliminary results indicate that community nursing interventions significantly improve health outcomes in long-term ill older adults. Quantitative data revealed marked improvements in vital health parameters and reduction in hospital readmissions. Qualitative findings highlighted enhanced patient satisfaction, better management of chronic conditions, and increased accessibility to healthcare resources.

Conclusion: The study underscores the vital role of community nursing in addressing the complex needs of longterm ill older adults. By providing tailored, accessible, and comprehensive care, community nursing not only improves health outcomes but also alleviates the strain on centralized healthcare systems. This research advocates for greater investment in community nursing as a strategic approach to meet the evolving challenges of an aging population in modern healthcare.
