Holistic Nursing from the Dossey’s Theory of Integral Nursing Lens:A Narrative Review Study
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction: Holistic nursing is a care process based on mutual interactions that lead to consciousness, empowerment, and well-being of the client, and also plays an important role in improving the performance and skills of nurses, promoting their professional status and independence and self-confidence. The aim of this study was to describe holistic nursing based on Dossey's Theory of Integral Nursing. Methods: This is a narrative review study that was done in 2021 by searching databases such as PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, AND SID and using key terms /words of “integral nursing”, “integral theory”, “holistic nursing”, “nursing theory”, “Theory of integral nursing” in date interval January 2007 to 2021 October 2021. A total of 3 articles and 3 books were selected for review, after reviewing the retrieved literature and removing duplicated and unrelated items. Results: This grand theory is based on the philosophy and legacy of Florence Nightingale and the principles of the Holistic approach. Its building blocks are healing, the meta-paradigm of nursing, patterns of knowing, and the four quadrants that adapted from Wilber's integral theory consist of the individual interior (personal /intentional), the individual exterior (physiology /behavioral), the collective interior (shared / cultural), the collective exterior (systems /structures). Conclusions: The theory of integral nursing guides the science and art of nursing for integral practice, education, research, and health-care policy. Also, it provides individualized care for clients, expands the professional roles of nurses to a global level, and improves inter-professional relationships. Acquainting nurses with this new approach to holistic care and developing nursing education programs based on it can improve the quality of patient care;The development of professional independence, the promotion of inter-professional cooperation and ultimately the expansion of global health.
