Introduction: This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to critically examine the role of nurses in promoting physical activity through educational interventions and the integration of technology. Method: This systematic review was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Result: The SLR finds that behavior change interventions, such as the use of pedometers and self-liberation techniques, along with simulation-based learning and scenario-based approaches, significantly increase patient activity levels, self-efficacy, and knowledge of lifestyle modification among patients with chronic condition. Conclusion: The review highlights the importance of systemic changes like better resource allocation, streamlined workflows, and supportive policies to empower nurses to prioritize physical activity education in their responsibilities, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes.
