  • Evolving Holistic Scholarship and Praxis Introduction
    Scholarship and Praxis Evolving Holistic Scholarship and Praxis Introduction The Global Academy of Holistic Nursing’s mission is to advance excellence in holistic praxes and global healthcare transformation through holistic nursing scholarship. Our worldview appreciates the unique expressions of wholeness and interconnections experienced by individuals, families, communities, and society in relation to the environment. Thus, holistic approaches are dynamic and interactive, with a focus on healing. Popoola stated, “to practice holistically, one must be willing to make a paradigmatic shift from the model of a cure-driven approach to healing” (p. 34). This introduction highlights the relationship between holistic scholarship and healing and how each of these advance holistic nursing and the transformation of healthcare. “Healing is a ubiquitous cross-cultural phenomenon. The role of healing in health and well-being has been described in the literature and holds a central role” (Hanley, et al., 2017, p.370) in holistic nursing. The Theory of Healing articulated by Hanley et al., includes concepts and assumptions that inform our direction for holistic nursing scholarship, providing guidance for designing holistic caring processes as well as a scaffold for knowledge development and dissemination of holistic praxis. Shifting Paradigms: Curing to Healing According to AHNA (2019), Holistic Nurses are “...instruments of healing” (p. 2). Further, holistic nursing is defined as “all nursing practice that has healing the whole person as its goal” (AHNA, 1998 cited by ANA/AHNA, 2019, p.1). These definitions are consistent with the holistic paradigm articulated by Nightingale (1859), wherein the nurse’s role is to “put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him” (p.

  • How Can Nurses Address Generalist/Specialist/Nmsing Requirements of the Urbanlrural Population of Southland?
    How can nurses address generalist/specialist/nmsing requirements of the urbanlrural population of Southland? by Josephine Stuart A research paper submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Applied) In Nursing Victoria University of Wellington 2003 .. 11 Abstract: This study, which is undertaken in the Southland area, explores the effect of the increasing specialisation of nursing services in what is a rurallurban environment. It is indicated in the literature that systemic changes in health, such as the health reforms, and the increase in the use of technology have meant that nurses are required to function in disease oriented roles rather than according to their more traditional generalist roots. A significant event, which also affected nursing scope of practice, was the transfer of nurse education to the tertiary education institutions environment from the hospitals in the mid 1970s. The traditional nursing hierarchy and its nurse leadership role disappeared and the adoption of specialist nurse titles increased, and identified with a disease or disorder, for example 'diabetes' nurse. The increase in specialist categories for patients contributed to the nurse shortage by reducing the available numbers of nurses in the generalist nursing pool. The nurses in this rurallurban environment require generalist nurse skills to deliver their nursing services because of the geographical vastness of the area being a barrier to specialist nurses. Workforce planning for nurses in the rural /urban then must focus on bow to reshape the nursing scope of practice to utilise the existing resources. This study explores how key areas of health services could be enhanced by reclaiming the nurse role in its holistic approach, in mental health, public health, geriatric services and psychiatric services.

    UNDERSTANDING HOLISTIC NURSING PRACTICE Grace Ngugi Olorunleke Igunnuoda Degree Thesis Degree Programme in Nursing 2015 Förnamn Efternamn DEGREE THESIS Arcada Degree Programme: Bachelor of Nursing Identification number: 5281, 5282 Author: Grace Ngugi & Olorunleke Igunnuoda Title: Understanding holistic nursing practice Supervisor (Arcada): Gun-Britt Lejonqvist Commissioned by: Arcada Abstract: Holistic nursing is a philosophy and a model that integrates concepts of presence, healing and holism. These concepts are based on broad academic principles that incorporate a sensitive balance between art and science, analytic and intuitive skills, and the intercon- nectedness of body, mind and spirit. Holistic nursing was form by the American holistic nurse association in 1980 (AHNA, 2000). The aim of this study is to explore what is found in the literature on nurses’ view on holistic nursing and also to describe the chal- lenges nurses encounter in holistic nursing. This study will seek an answer to the follow- ing research questions 1. What are nurses view holistic nursing 2. What are the challeng- es in holistic nursing practice? Katie Eriksson theory of caritative caring and biopyscoso- cial theory was introduced as a guild seeking solutions for the research questions. In the analysis twenty one articles were reviewed, inductive content analysis was used. Result of the study shows nursing’s view on holistic nursing as social wellbeing, communication and attitude & knowledge, while challenges encountered by nurses includes religion be- lief of the care giver, education and meeting patient need. Limitation on this research work includes the broadness of the thesis topic and the time used in getting this research work done.

    WHITE PAPER: GRADUATE HOLISTIC NURSING SUBMITTED BY THE AMERICAN HOLISTIC NURSES CREDENTIALING CORPORATION ENDORSED BY THE AMERICAN HOLISTIC NURSES ASSOCIATION NOVEMBER 18, 2015 Authored by: Helen Erickson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN; Margaret Erickson, PhD, RN, CNS, APHN-BC; Mary Enzman Hines, APRN, PhD, CNS, CPNP, APHN-BC; M. Kay Sandor, PhD, RN, LPC; Ellen D Schultz, PhD, RN, HTCP, AHNBC; Deborah Shields, RN, PhD, CCRN, QTTT, AHN-BC; Mary Elaine Southard, DPN, APHN-BC, HWNC-BC Executive Summary Current trends in healthcare transformation initiated by the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) report on quality of care (2001, 2003), the role of nursing in healthcare transformation (IOM, 2010), and society’s call for a shift in focus from disease to health and wellness (National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council, 2011), has resulted in major changes in healthcare delivery models. Today, several interdisciplinary healthcare groups focusing on integrative healthcare or health and wellness coaching have sprouted, shifting their practice to one based on the sciences of health and wellness. Nurses have also responded. The current Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice (3 rd Ed) (American Nurses Association, 2015 a) describes the scope of nursing within the context of a philosophy of health and wellness, with an emphasis on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of human responses. As written, the 2015 edition of ANA’s Scope and Standards of Nursing implies that all graduate nurses practice from a holistic paradigm as defined by the AHNA Scope and Standards (2013). Although this practice model is consistent with the healthcare trends, the current reality is that the Consensus Model and associated Compact Agreement (Joint Dialogue Group, 2008) have propelled graduate prepared nurses into four (4) roles of direct care, some of which are based more in the biomedical paradigm of care than the holistic paradigm.
