Describe a holistic approach to patient care. How might you as a behavioral health provider incorporate a patient's faith into their care?

We talked about the significance of a holistic approach in nursing for today's homework. One point I'd like to make is this:

Holistic nursing care is important because it has the ability to improve the overall quality of care.

Providers and researchers have used their knowledge from past health-care applications to develop a comprehensive approach for enhancing people's overall health and quality of life.

Step-by-step explanation

Taking a holistic approach is one way to improve these experiences and provide better overall care to our patients. It's not so much how much time you spend with a patient as it is how you spend that time that matters. Nurses should always strive to get the most out of the time they spend with each patient. In order to aid physical healing, nurses must improve a patient's psychological and emotional well-being.

Our relationship with the patient improves and becomes more favorable as a result of this action. This improves patient outcomes while also giving you a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose in your work as a nurse. There are several simple techniques to improve patient interactions and foster a healthy psychological, emotional, and spiritual environment:

A. Social:

- Remember and use the patient's name.
- Maintain good, firm eye contact.
- Inquire about a patient's well-being and express genuine concern.
- When appropriate, smiling and laughing
- Maintain their dignity
- Assist the patient in seeing oneself as someone deserving of respect.

Physically:

- Make therapeutic contact
- Use non-pharmacological pain-relieving approaches such as visualisation, relaxation, and others.
- Encourage patients and assist with other therapeutic techniques as needed; never discount the value of a massage, aromatherapy, or music.

C. Psychological:

- Inquire with the patient about how you may help them cope with their anxiety or suffering.
- Emphasize the importance of self-care to your patients.

D. Spiritual:

- Inquire if patients have any religious, cultural, or spiritual beliefs; if they do, be compassionate and accepting.

Holistic nursing care is significant because it has the potential to improve the quality of care for everyone. Providers and academics have taken what they've learned from previous health-care applications to create a holistic model for improving people's quality of life and overall health.

Despite these evident concerns, many health care practitioners are still unwilling to give holistic care. According to recent studies, "using the conventional medical paradigm alone for therapy exposes patients to substantial dangers, prolongs hospitalization, and raises treatment expenses."
