Abstract
Huntington's Disease (HD) is a degenerative neurological condition that requires extensive nursing care because it has a significant influence on a patient's physical, mental, and emotional health. Even though there is a wealth of research on the clinical features of HD, less is known about the holistic nursing interventions that can greatly enhance the outcomes for both patients and caregivers. With an emphasis on specialized interventions that address physical symptoms, emotional support, and patient education, this review emphasizes the critical role that nursing care plays in managing HD. Promoting participation in worthwhile activities, offering emotional support, and highlighting the significance of culturally responsive treatment are some of the key tactics covered. The results highlight how important it is to combine these all-encompassing strategies in order to improve the quality of life for patients and their families dealing with patients' difficulties. This study aims to promote a comprehensive view of nursing care and identifies areas for future research that will focus on creating novel interventions that give HD patients both medical care and psychosocial support.
