abstract = {Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and patient continuity
of care is essential. Health professionals can help in the transition stage by providing resources to
achieve pharmacological treatment adherence, as well as social and emotional support. The objective
was to analyse the effects of nursing interventions based on continuity of care in patients with
coronary artery disease after hospital discharge. A systematic review of randomised controlled trials
and quasi-experimental studies was carried out. Cochrane, CINAHL, Health & medical collection,
Medline, and Scopus databases were consulted in January 2022. PRISMA guidelines were followed
with no time limits. In total, 16 articles were included with a total of 2950 patients. Nurse-led
continuity of care programs improved the monitoring and control of the disease. Positive effects
were found in the quality of life of patients, and in mental health, self-efficacy, and self-care capacity
dimensions. Clinical parameters such as blood pressure and lipid levels decreased. The continuity
of care provided by nurses had a positive influence on the quality of life of patients with coronary
artery disease. Nurse-led care focused on the needs and resources, including continuity of care, plays
a key role.},
