AbstractObjective: To evaluate the effects of the nurse-led health coaching on health-related quality of life and clinical health outcomes among frequent attenders in primary healthcare. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design. A total of 110 patients were enrolled in the study. The experimental group (n = 52) received nurse-led health coaching and the control group (n = 58) received the usual care at primary health care centres in Finland. The data were collected before the intervention and 12 months via a questionnaire of health-related quality of life and clinical health outcomes as measured by health-coaching nurses. Results: This study found frequent attenders have low health-related quality of life. The nurse-led health coaching showed no differences in health-related quality of life between the experimental and control groups. However, the nurse-led health coaching had statistically significant effects on the blood pressure and health-related quality of life among the experimental participants, especially in emotional role limitation and energy. Conclusions: This study suggests that nurse-led health coaching may lead to an improvement in the health-related quality of life and blood pressure among frequent attenders. Practice Implications: The health-coaching sessions with own health-coaching nurses and action plans support the frequent attenders’ health promotion goals and implementation. see all
