Community Nursing and Public Health

Holistic nursing

Holistic nursing embodies a comprehensive approach to healthcare that considers the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in patient care. It integrates conventional medical practices with complementary therapies, focusing on treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms of illness. Holistic nurses prioritize individualized care, emphasizing patient empowerment, self-care, and preventive measures. They assess not only physical symptoms but also emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of well-being, fostering healing and promoting overall health. Through therapeutic communication, education, and advocacy, holistic nurses empower patients to actively participate in their healing journey, promoting balance and harmony for optimal health outcomes.
