Diabetes is a chronic condition that requires effective management to prevent complications and improve patients' quality of life. Nurse education plays a crucial role in enhancing patients' knowledge and skills for diabetes management. This systematic review aims to assess the role of nurse education in improving knowledge and skills related to diabetes management among patients. A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, were searched for relevant studies published between 2010 and 2022. The search strategy included keywords related to nurse education, diabetes management, knowledge, and skills. Studies that focused on the impact of nurse-led educational interventions on patients' knowledge and skills for diabetes management were included. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed for the selected studies.

The initial search yielded a total of 527 articles. After screening and assessment, 13 studies were included in the review. The findings showed that nurse-led educational interventions significantly improved patients' knowledge about diabetes, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. The interventions also enhanced patients' skills for self-monitoring blood glucose, administering insulin, adhering to medication regimens, and making appropriate lifestyle modifications. The educational approaches included individual counselling, group sessions, multimedia tools, and self-management programs. The findings of this systematic review highlight the critical role of nurse education in improving patients' knowledge and skills for diabetes management. Nurse-led educational interventions have positively impacted patients' understanding of diabetes and ability to manage the condition effectively. These interventions empower patients to participate actively in self-care and promote better health outcomes. Further research is needed to explore nurse-led educational interventions' long-term effects and sustainability in diabetes management.
