<![CDATA[Introduction: Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, with symptoms of pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances that disrupt respondents’ well-being. Avocado leaves contain bioactive compounds that can help lower lipid levels, but the use of this intervention in community nursing care is limited. Methods: This case study described family nursing care for a 61-year-old woman with hypercholesterolemia and a nursing diagnosis of impaired well-being (D.0074) at the Sukorejo Community Health Center in Pasuruan Regency. The intervention involved the respondent consuming one avocado leaf tea bag brewed with 200 mL of warm, unsweetened water twice daily for seven days, accompanied by dietary education and recommendations for light physical activity. The tea was commercially available, but its leaf weight per tea bag was not specified on the label. Total cholesterol levels were measured before and after implementation, while well-being status was evaluated through structured observation based on the SLKI L.08064 indicator. Results: The implementation was carried out for seven days. The respondent reported reduced knee pain, improved sleep quality, decreased fatigue and anxiety, although walking and standing for extended periods were still difficult. Total cholesterol levels decreased from 304 mg/dL to 277 mg/dL. No gastrointestinal side effects were observed during the intervention. Conclusions: the avocado leaf tea infusion intervention aimed to reduce discomfort in the client. A single case study design without comparison cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Controlled studies with larger sample sizes and standardized herbal preparations are needed to confirm these findings.]]>
