Abstract

The current treatment of gout is largely suboptimal, with up to 89% of hospitalizations being preventable due to inadequate care. The present study performed a systematic review in an aim to identify barriers to optimal gout treatment (Q1), understand how frequently nurses are involved in the management of gout (Q2), and examine the role of the nurse in the management of gout (Q3). A systematic review was performed, focusing on studies reporting on the nurse's role in the management of gout and the quality of the gathered items was appraised based on the risk of bias. In total, 15 records fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were used in the present systematic review. The main barriers were attributed to the patient's experiences with gout and lay beliefs, which affected seeking advice and adherence to treatment (Q1). Recently, however, several advances in patient care, including nurse‑led clinics, have expanded the nurse's role, accounting for as much as 26% of the annual visits (Q2). Nurse‑led interventions, such as education and lifestyle counseling, increased adherence to treatment (Q3). On the whole, nurses are key players in multidisciplinary teams and should be capable of engaging in shared decision‑making processes, goal setting, providing patients with education and information, and making appropriate referrals.
