Holistic nursing is grounded in several core principles, including:
1. Holistic Philosophy: Viewing patients as whole beings with interconnected physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. 2. Patient-Centered Care: Involving patients in their own healthcare decisions and promoting self-care practices. 3. Healing Environments: Creating environments that support healing, including the use of complementary therapies like aromatherapy, massage, and meditation. 4. Interconnectedness: Recognizing the relationships between the nurse, patient, and the broader healthcare system.
