Abstract : Patient education is a crucial component of healthcare, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their well-being. This study explores the impact of nurse-led health promotion programs in enhancing patient knowledge, self-care practices, and overall health outcomes. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research examines the effectiveness of these programs in various healthcare settings. Quantitative data is collected through patient surveys measuring knowledge retention and behavioral changes, while qualitative insights are gathered through interviews with nurses and patients. Findings highlight the role of nurses as primary educators, demonstrating that structured health promotion initiatives significantly improve patient engagement, adherence to treatment plans, and preventive health behaviors. The study also identifies challenges faced by nurses, such as time constraints and patient compliance issues, and offers recommendations for optimizing education strategies. Ultimately, this research underscores the importance of strengthening nurse-led patient education programs to enhance public health and improve healthcare delivery.
