Introduction:This study aimed to explore the perspectives of leaders in chronic disease management and the impact of their leadership practices on the quality of life outcomes for patients with chronic diseases.
Methods:A sample of leaders working in chronic disease management were interviewed qualitatively, transcribed, and analyzed thematically.
Results:Leaders identified several key ways in which their leadership practices influenced the quality of life outcomes for chronic disease patients. These included providing support and resources for patients, implementing multidisciplinary care teams, promoting patient empowerment and self-management, and fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. Leaders also recognized the importance of their well-being and self-care in effectively managing chronic diseases and promoting quality of life for patients.
Conclusions:Leaders play a critical role in shaping the quality of life outcomes for patients with chronic diseases. By implementing effective leadership practices, such as providing support and resources, promoting self-management, and fostering collaboration, leaders can help improve the overall well-being of patients with chronic diseases. Moreover, leaders should prioritize their well-being and self-care in order to better support and lead their care teams and ultimately improve the quality of life for chronic disease patients. This study highlights the importance of leadership in chronic disease management and provides valuable insights for leaders to enhance their practices and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
