Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

Healthcare systems worldwide face mounting pressure to deliver high-quality care while enhancing efficiency and sustainability. Nurse-led interventions have emerged as promising strategies to optimize care delivery, particularly within value-based health systems. However, a comprehensive understanding of their clinical impact and economic value remains limited. This systematic review conducted following PRISMA guidelines, searched nine international databases to identify and synthesize formally evaluated nurse-led interventions, programs, and strategies. Twenty-eight studies were included, encompassing diverse care settings and patient populations. Most studies reported improvements in clinical outcomes, including reduced hospital readmissions, enhanced quality of life, and improved chronic disease management. Several interventions analyzed effectiveness, particularly those involving advanced nursing roles such as nurse practitioners and case managers. Findings suggest that clinical effectiveness does not necessarily translate into increased professional authority: nurse-led interventions consistently generate value across patient, organizational, and systemic dimensions, yet nursing leadership remains structurally subordinate within healthcare governance. A systematic agenda for rigorous economic evaluation embedded in nursing research programs is urgently needed, alongside structural reforms that redistribute authority-not merely develop competencies-within healthcare organizations.
