Abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of patient education programmes and self-management strategies in enhancing patient outcomes, promoting self-care, and empowering patients. In this care management project, the modified logical framework methodology was employed as a management strategy, which was implemented in health services or other practice settings, subsequent to the identification of priority problems in people's care with alternative solutions from a nursing theoretical perspective. In this study, demographic information and data were collected from several different hospitals in Iraq for a period of one year from 2024 to the beginning of 2025 for 200 patients. The objective of these methodologies is twofold: firstly, to enhance the quality of life, as measured by the SF-36 questionnaire, and secondly, to elevate self-esteem, mood, and quality of life for individuals who opt for these procedures. In the context of the evolution of the medical model, the role of patient education has assumed a position of increasing prominence. The findings of patient education demonstrate that it facilitates patient mastery of disease-related knowledge and enhances their self-management abilities through meticulously planned, organized, and systematic educational activities. Consequently, patients are able to more effectively collaborate with treatment, prevent disease recurrence, and improve their quality of life. The combination of the physician's role and patient education has been shown to enhance patients' health knowledge, thereby ensuring more effective care. The findings of this study demonstrate a statistically significant positive relationship between the role of the physician and patient education and the enhancement of patients' self-management ability through patient education, which contributes to an improvement in the overall quality of life following surgery
