Holistic Nursing
From The SpiritWiki
Notes
A central tenet of holistic nursing is that the "discovery of meaning and purpose in life is facilitated through self-care, a central tenant in holistic nursing theory. Self-care leads to self-awareness and self-knowledge, which in turn leads to growth, healing, and transformation." [1]
holistic nursing is also eco-aware. "Within nursing, the concept of environment has been central to nursing’s paradigm since Florence Nightingale, along with person, health, and nursing. However, there has been little emphasis on this concept in nursing literature or in nursing curricula (Quinn, 1992), and the ecological aspect of spirituality is rarely addressed in assessment instruments."[2]
