ABSTRACT:
Brain Fog Syndrome is a commonly reported yet poorly defined clinical phenomenon characterized by cognitive difficulties such as impaired concentration, memory lapses, slowed thinking, and mental fatigue. Although not recognized as a formal medical diagnosis, brain fog is frequently associated with chronic illnesses, neurological and mental health conditions, post-viral syndromes, and lifestyle-related factors. Its subjective nature and multifactorial causes make assessment and management challenging. Nurses play a vital role in the early identification of symptoms, continuous monitoring, patient education, and coordination of multidisciplinary care. This systematic review aims to synthesize available evidence on nursing considerations in the management of Brain Fog Syndrome in adults, A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, National Institutes of Health (NIH), and World Health Organization (WHO) databases. English-language publications from 2000 to 2025 were reviewed, including peer-reviewed articles, observational studies, reviews, and authoritative reports. Findings indicate that brain fog is commonly linked to neuroinflammation, hormonal imbalances, sleep disturbances, stress, metabolic disorders, and chronic medical conditions. Key nursing interventions include cognitive and fatigue assessment, promotion of sleep hygiene, nutritional support, stress management, and patient education. Multidisciplinary collaboration is essential for effective symptom control and improved quality of life. In conclusion, nursing care is fundamental to the holistic management of Brain Fog Syndrome. Early recognition, individualized interventions, and ongoing education significantly enhance cognitive function, daily performance, and overall well-being.
