3. Holistic Nursing Care Theories
Holistic nursing care provision was based on various
theories, each focusing on specific aspects of the relationship
between the person with his outside and inside world
and his nurse, by respectively differentiating the concept of
health. Their common ground, however, is dealing with the person as a whole being. From Maslow to modern holistic
theories, the holistic approach embraces the total of human
needs and puts them in a hierarchy by accepting a person’s
individuality and the gravity he puts on each individual
need.
