      <abstract>
        <p>The involvement of nurses in patient care has been shown to enhance patients__ampersandsign#39; ability to self-manage their medications and promote discussions about adherence issues. Medication non-adherence continues to be a pervasive and persistent problem, highlighting the need for effective communication between physicians, nurses, and patients. Despite its critical importance, conversations about non-adherence are often inadequately addressed by both physicians and patients, for reasons that are not fully understood. As a result, nurses frequently take on the responsibility of bridging this communication gap by providing reassurance and motivating patients to follow their prescribed medication regimens. Given that medication preparation and administration are fundamental aspects of nursing practice and considering the crucial role nurses play in ensuring medication safety, their involvement in practical procedures within hospitals and community health centers is essential. This includes the identification and reporting of medication errors. However, the knowledge level among practicing nurses has been found to be inadequate. Current literature suggests that nurses often lack sufficient education, which impedes their ability to develop effective communication skills, particularly regarding medication adherence. It is insufficient for nurses to acquire these skills solely upon entering practice; they would be more confident with enhanced healthcare knowledge and training integrated into their educational programs. Nurses bear significant pharmacotherapeutic responsibilities, influenced by both the healthcare setting and their educational training. Strategies to improve patient adherence to treatment and to identify adverse drug reactions have been well-documented in the literature. It is essential for nurses to develop more innovative strategies to ensure consistent follow-ups and to make educational activities more engaging and beneficial for patients. The objective of this review is to assess the current literature on the role of health education by nurses in promoting medication adherence.&#13;
