DISCUSSION POST # 1 Cherry

 

My understanding of holistic care is therapeutic caring and curing not just the body, mind, or spiritual need but the entirety of a person. The nurse needs to interact to earn trust and establish good rapport both with the patient and the responsible party on a personal level. I apply holistic care by recommending substitute forms of medicine like herbal medicines, meditation, and yoga to name a few aside from customary Western medicines so long it does not impede with current therapy.  

          Holistic healing methods are increasing in popularity. Miracle fruits. Herbal teas. In recent decades, these have been the images of holistic medicine. That is no longer the case. With more patients facing limited solutions to their health problems, many nurses, whether certified in holistic care or not, are exploring alternative methods to complement modern solutions to relieve pain or rid a patient’s body of disease. While  modern medicine  focuses on the causes of illness and disease and treating symptoms, the root of holistic healing is considering the whole patient. Holistic nurses will evaluate the whole person and direct care individually for the patient that will facilitate the patient’s innate healing abilities. Several popular methods holistic nurses are now using to improve modern care such as herbs like lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus. It is expanding throughout the nation and beyond. It is clear increased people are embracing the power of essential oils and aromatherapy. Hydrotherapy, a centuries-old method is another holistic nurses' method that is long being used. From a benefits perspective, Kristoff believes aquatic therapy can impact everything from a patient’s mobility to their activities of daily living. Moreover, the Acupressure holistic method can ease pain, reduce opioid use. The sense of touch is a powerful healing tool and is often used in many holistic therapies (Aiken, 2020). 

          The future already reveals that all health care practitioners will need to work within a shared framework of caring-healing relationships; integral medicine; healing arts, micro, and macro embodied caring-healing practices, and energy models of self-healing. Practitioners’ caring/healing consciousness and knowledgeable skills will be required to engage in the spiritual, non-physical, energetic dimensions of caring/healing (Watson, 2021). 

 

DISCUSSION POST # 2 Gita

 

For me, holistic means seeing the patient as a whole rather than just their disease condition and their illness. It focuses on individual care by understanding each patient’s diverse needs.  Holistic nursing is a comprehensive approach to patient care. It is the practice of healing the whole person which means the nurses should consider a patient’s body, mind, spirit, culture, socioeconomic background, and the environment when delivering care. In holistic nursing, nurses foster relationships with their patients to promote healing and wellness. Holistic nursing is based on the principle that a patient’s biological, social, psychological, and spiritual aspects are interconnected. Nurses who practice holistic care in their nursing identify each patient as an individual, acknowledge the whole patient, interact with all patients and colleagues mindfully and respectfully, assess patients holistically through open communication, and find out potential contributing stress factors that impact patients health. As a holistic nurse, I listen to my patient’s preferences and suggestions about how to proceed with treatment options. It is necessary to focus on healing rather than the condition itself (Northeastern State University, 2017). 

For my pregnant patient who comes to my clinic who seems upset and emotional, as a nurse who practices holistic nursing, I would focus on her as a whole person, I see her as a unique individual human being rather than just a regular prenatal visit. What is contributing to her sadness and what can I do as a nurse to make her better or support her will be my priority too. I can support her emotionally and make her feel that she is not the only one by being empathetic to her. 

A nurse who truly practice holistic care, can approach nursing care in different ways like by investigating beyond the physical symptoms of a condition to determine whether the cause is an underlying disease or another factor such as lifestyle, taking proactive measures to prevent disease before it manifests, recommends lifestyle changes to promote overall health and wellbeing, encourage patient to express their preferences for treatment and intervention and inquire about patients current mental and emotional status (Texas Woman’s University, 2021).
