Holistic Nursing Care

Inez Dhawo
 Definition
 Holistic care is a comprehensive model of caring
which is believed to be the heart of the science of
nursing.
 Holistic care is described as a behavior that
recognizes a person as a whole and acknowledges
the interdependence among one's biological, social,
psychological, and spiritual aspects. Holistic care
includes a wide range of approaches, including
medication, education, communication, self-help,
and complementary treatment.
Definition
 Holism is more than certain actions
performed or words spoken to a patient.
Holistic care is a philosophy; it’s a
method to ensure care for all parts of a
patient. Holistic nurses are those that
recognize and treat each individual
differently.

Maslow’s Hierarchy
Maslow’s Hierarchy

 Maslow (1968) Called the four lower-

level needs – for survival, then
safety, followed by belonging, and
then self esteem – deficiency needs.
 He labeled the three higher-level-

needs- intellectual achievement,

then aesthetic appreciation, and
finally self-actualization- being needs
MASLOW’S THEORY
 Maslow’s theory has been criticized
for very obvious reason that people
do not always appear to behave as
the theory would predict.
 Some people deny themselves
safety or friendship in order to
achieve knowledge, understanding,
or greater self esteem.
