Resum
Cirrhosis represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality, leading to a marked impairment in the quality of life of patients and their caregivers, and resulting in a major burden on healthcare systems. Currently, in most countries, nurses still play a limited role in the care of patients with cirrhosis, which is mainly restricted to the care of patients hospitalised for acute complications of the disease. The current manuscript reviews the established and potential new and innovative roles that nurses can play in the care of patients with cirrhosis. In the hospital setting, specialised nurses should become an integral part of interprofessional teams, helping to improve the quality of care and outcomes of patients with cirrhosis. In the primary care setting, nurses should play an important role in the care of patients with compensated cirrhosis and also facilitate early diagnosis of cirrhosis in those at risk of liver diseases. This review calls for an improved global liver disease education programme for nurses and increased awareness among all healthcare providers and policymakers of the positive impacts of advanced or specialist nursing practice in this domain.
