This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of self-care interventions in promoting quality of life and health outcomes in older adults with NCDs. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251040613). Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials published between 2019 and 2024 were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and EBSCOhost. Eligible studies included adults aged \u226560 years with NCDs receiving self-care interventions. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment were independently performed using Joanna Briggs Institute tools. Results: Twenty-nine studies involving 7241 older adults were included. Self-care interventions comprised nurse-led educational programs, digital health strategies, community- and peer-based approaches, and person-centered care models. Multicomponent and continuous interventions demonstrated consistent improvements in physical and psychological domains of quality of life, self-efficacy, autonomy, symptom management, and treatment adherence. Digital interventions enhanced monitoring and engagement, although their effectiveness varied according to sensory and health literacy limitations. Conclusions: Structured, person-centered, and nurse-led self-care interventions are effective in improving quality of life and autonomy among older adults with NCDs. These findings support their integration into primary and community-based care, reinforcing their relevance for clinical practice, care planning, and the development of assistive and educational strategies in aging care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare14030308","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,26]],"date-time":"2026-01-26T15:48:30Z","timestamp":1769442510000},"page":"308","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Influence of Self-Care on the Quality of Life of Elderly People with Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9780-8633","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Poliana Martins","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Federal University of Alfenas, Alfenas 37130-001, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0959-4082","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonas Paulo Batista","family":"Dias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ribeir\u00e3o Preto College of Nursing, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto 14040-902, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6535-5097","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monica","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Porto Nursing School (Escola Superior de Enfermagem do Porto\u2014ESEP), Center for Health Technology and Services Research (CINTESIS@RISE), 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3395-7653","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teresa","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Porto Nursing School (Escola Superior de Enfermagem do Porto\u2014ESEP), Center for Health Technology and Services Research (CINTESIS@RISE), 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4811-6753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui Pedro Gomes","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"},{"name":"Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing\/UMinho, School of Nursing, University of Coimbra, 3046-851 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3436-2654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Murilo C\u00e9sar do","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Federal University of Alfenas, Alfenas 37130-001, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1874-3481","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Namie Okino","family":"Sawada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Federal University of Alfenas, Alfenas 37130-001, Brazil"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2012).
