Abstract:
Critical care nurses work in challenging environments that are often sterile, impersonal, noisy, and frightening to patients and their families. Nurses act as liaisons between medical professionals and patients and their families in multiple specialty intensive care units. Critical care nursing practice, guided by the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics, respects patients' religious, spiritual, and cultural beliefs, contributing to holistic care delivery. Therapeutic psychosocial outcomes of holistic care delivery and patient advocacy are explored. Personalized psychosocial care through treating patients holistically will support and maintain positive psychosocial outcomes in intensive care units across the country.
