Holistic nursing involves a seven-step developmental process, expanding on traditional rites of passage. This journey transforms nurses by integrating self-knowledge and care into their practice.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Holistic Health
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Holistic nursing is an evolving practice within mainstream healthcare.
  • Understanding the developmental path of holistic nurses is crucial for education and integration.
  • Existing models of personal transformation offer a framework for exploring this journey.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe the developmental process of becoming a holistic nurse.
  • To expand upon Van Gennep's theory of rites of passage within the context of nursing.
  • To provide a grounded theory-based understanding of the holistic nursing journey.

Main Methods:

  • Grounded theory methodology was employed.
  • 18 members of the American Holistic Nurses' Association participated.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Participants shared their experiences through open-ended interviews prompted by "Tell me about holistic nursing."

    • Main Results:

    • A seven-step process for becoming a holistic nurse was identified.
    • This process expands Van Gennep's three stages (separation, marginality/liminality, reintegration).
    • The marginality/liminality stage includes five distinct steps focused on information gathering, application to others and self, self-care, and self-knowledge.

    Conclusions:

    • The growth of a holistic nurse follows a discernible and recognizable developmental course.
    • The identified seven-step process provides a framework for understanding and supporting nurses transitioning to holistic practice.
    • This study validates the unique developmental pathway inherent in holistic nursing.
