Methods: A systematic literature review with meta-analysis was conducted by searching the EBSCOhost platform (CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete, Cochrane, and MedicLatina) using the PRISMA methodology. Five articles were selected for final analysis. Meta-analysis was carried out using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software, and the results were presented in a forest plot. Results: Thirty-one self-promoting rehabilitation nursing interventions were identified, with the most effective being those related to the assessment of progress in physical capacity\/activity tolerance (functional status category\/domain) and the assessment of the increase in health-related quality of life (health-related quality of life category\/domain). Conclusions: Rehabilitation nursing interventions such as self-management programs led by nurses, community-based and home-based rehabilitation programs, and inspiratory muscle training can effectively reduce and enable the effective control of symptoms associated with respiratory disorders, boosting older adults\u2019 empowerment to engage in self-care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20146422","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,21]],"date-time":"2023-07-21T01:58:38Z","timestamp":1689904718000},"page":"6422","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["The Effectiveness of Nursing Rehabilitation Interventions on Self-Care for Older Adults with Respiratory Disorders: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Rita","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, University of \u00c9vora, 7000-801 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8687-4291","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henrique","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, 3840-193 Aveiro, Portugal"},{"name":"Polytechnic Institute of Beja, 7800-295 Beja, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6017-6874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margarida","family":"Goes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, University of \u00c9vora, 7000-801 \u00c9vora, Portugal"},{"name":"Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC), University of \u00c9vora, 7000-801 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"given":"C\u00e1tia","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, University of \u00c9vora, 7000-801 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6562-4728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Dias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, University of \u00c9vora, 7000-801 \u00c9vora, Portugal"},{"name":"Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC), University of \u00c9vora, 7000-801 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6975-612X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00e9sar","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, University of \u00c9vora, 7000-801 \u00c9vora, Portugal"},{"name":"Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC), University of \u00c9vora, 7000-801 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.2147\/ciia.2006.1.3.253","article-title":"Effect of aging on respiratory system physiology and immunology","volume":"1","author":"Sharma","year":"2006","journal-title":"Clin.
