Key result
Nurses' perceptions of multimorbidity care highlight four themes: challenges, holistic care, therapeutic relationships, and teamwork.
Why the study?
The rising prevalence of multimorbidity challenges nursing care, but no review had examined nurses' perceptions and beliefs related to caring for these patients to guide policy, practice, and research.
Systematic Review (n=11)
Nursing care for adults with multimorbidity requires holistic assessment, person-centred care, and an interprofessional team approach to overcome the challenges of the predominant single-disease model.
Supports holistic, person-centred nursing for multimorbidity; extends qualitative synthesis on interprofessional approaches beyond single-disease models.
