Holistic nursing

Holistic nursing is a way of treating and taking care of the patient, which involves physical, social, environmental, psychological, cultural and religious factors, in exactly the same manner as non holistic nursing. There are many theories that support the importance of nurses approaching the patient holistically and education on this is there to support the goal of holistic nursing. Unfortunatly, none of these theories differentiate between nursing and holistic nursing. This emphasizes that patients being treated would be treated not only in their body but also their mind and spirit.. Holistic nursing focuses on the mind, body, and spirit working together as a whole and how spiritual awareness in nursing can help heal illness. Holistic medicine focuses on maintaining optimum well-being and preventing rather than just treating disease.
