Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains a significant global public health challenge, particularly in China, where it affects over 70 million individuals. The outpatient management of CHB patients is complex due to the chronic nature of the disease, the requirement for long-term follow-up, and the socioeconomic and cultural diversity of patients. The interprofessional nurse-physician model has emerged as a promising strategy to address these challenges by fostering interprofessional collaboration, leveraging technology, and delivering patient-centered care. This review synthesizes recent literature and case studies to evaluate the application, benefits, and limitations of this model in CHB management. Findings indicate enhanced health education, treatment adherence, and patient outcomes. However, further improvements are required in interprofessional communication, reducing health disparities, and integrating advanced technologies. This review provides both theoretical insights and practical recommendations to optimize the nurse-physician model for improving CHB patient well-being.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Virus Eradication aims to provide a specialist, open-access forum to publish work in the rapidly developing field of virus eradication. The Journal covers all human viruses, in the context of new therapeutic strategies, as well as societal eradication of viral infections with preventive interventions.
The Journal is aimed at the international community involved in the prevention and management of viral infections. It provides an academic forum for the publication of original research into viral reservoirs, viral persistence and virus eradication and ultimately development of cures.
The Journal not only publishes original research, but provides an opportunity for opinions, reviews, case studies and comments on the published literature. It focusses on evidence-based medicine as the major thrust in the successful management of viral infections.The Journal encompasses virological, immunological, epidemiological, modelling, pharmacological, pre-clinical and in vitro, as well as clinical, data including but not limited to drugs, immunotherapy and gene therapy. It is an important source of information on the development of vaccine programs and preventative measures aimed at virus eradication.
