WHAT IS MIND-BODY HEALTH ?
We human beings are much more than the sum of our parts, much more than the particular diagnosis by which we are defined by the health care system (or what family & friends may say). The practice of holistic nursing seeks to care for the total human being: body, mind, heart and spirit, by recognizing the dynamic interconnection of these domains.
Florence Nightingale, the mother of modern nursing, is considered to be one of the first holistic nurses. She believed that nursing care should be focused on unity, wellness and the interrelationship of human beings and their environment. The philosophy of caring for the total human being is the essence of holistic nursing and for that reason it can be practiced in multiple care settings.
Many nurses who embrace holistic concepts of nursing care work in acute care settings, while others may be community based or have their own private practice. Holistic nurses integrate complementary or integrative modalities into their plan of care, recognizing that the healing process involves helping to facilitate and honor the individual patient's values and beliefs . . . .
The holistic nurse recognizes the interconnectedness of health and dis-ease of mind, heart, body or spirit and strives to facilitate healing the whole person at any point along the life spectrum.
