Nursing care quality plays a pivotal role in ensuring positive patient outcomes and enhancing overall healthcare delivery. This comprehensive review aims to explore and evaluate effective strategies and interventions that contribute to quality improvement in nursing care. By analyzing studies published between 2015 and the present, this review identifies key approaches, including patient-centered care, professional development programs, quality improvement frameworks (e.g., Lean and Six Sigma), technological advancements, and collaborative care models. The findings reveal that implementing evidence-based practices, fostering continuous professional training, and adopting innovative technologies significantly enhance nursing efficiency, reduce medical errors, and improve patient satisfaction.
