Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of abnormalities that adversely affects overall human health. It is composed of interrelated risk factors including obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidem-ia, and hypertension. These risk factors increase the chances of heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and stroke. Nursing intervention for MetS varies and there is no consensus on a conventional nursing in-tervention for MetS.
Aim: The review aimed to examine various available nursing interventions and describe their impact on the health and wellbeing of MetS patients in different settings.
Method: A literature review was conducted from a search of three major research databases, including Cinahl (Ebsco), PubMed, and Medline. The articles selected were reviewed and analyzed through in-ductive content analysis.
Results: This review highlighted different nursing interventions for people living with MetS. The review analysis shows that non-conventional nursing interventions are more efficient nursing interventions for taking care of people living with MetS. Fasting plasma glucose among MetS patients with diabetes was significantly improved through non-conventional monitoring system, improved adherence to treatment plan and reduced treatment boycott or discontinuation among patients.
There was significant improvement in body weight, abdominal obesity, and total body weight among MetS patients with obesity. Non-conventional nursing intervention ensures increased physical activity level, promotes better eating habits, and improves compliance to exercise routine.
Non-conventional health education through modern technology and innovations promotes health knowledge among MetS patients. This has direct impacts on the level of anxiety, depression, fear and apprehension that are due to poor health knowledge about their disease.
People living with MetS who suffer from poor blood lipid profile such as high cholesterol level, low hdl (high density lipoprotein) and high ldl (low density lipoprotein) observed notable change in their health profile. Other variables such as sitting habit, smoking, hygiene, and foot-care were impacted positively.
Conclusion: If the health system is to holistically cater for people living with Mets and ensure the best possible outcomes, precise and effective nursing interventions are inevitable. This literature review has provided insight into possible interventions to promote patients' health and wellbeing.
