Abstract:
The goal of holistic nursing is to enhance healing of the whole person from birth to death. The new American Holistic Nursing Association's (AHNAs) Standards of Holistic Nursing Practice defines the ways to accomplish this goal, describing the scope of holistic nursing practice and the level of care expected from a holistic nurse. Nurses can reduce the devastating effects of crisis and illness in individuals by using the AHNA standards of practice. As nurses integrate interdiciplinarity into their work and think at the intersections, the human story enfolds in a new way, and health moves into the domain of healing.
