Holistic nursing requires a set of skills that go beyond traditional clinical competencies:
Communication: Effective communication is vital for understanding patients' concerns and building trust. Empathy: Nurses must show genuine empathy and compassion to connect with patients on an emotional level. Cultural Competence: Understanding and respecting cultural differences are crucial in providing holistic care. Critical Thinking: Nurses must assess complex situations and make informed decisions that consider all aspects of a patient's life.
