Humanistic Nursing Theory

Humanistic Nursing Theory emphasizes caring for patients as whole persons, acknowledging their individual feelings, experiences, and needs. It stresses the importance of building genuine relationships between nurses and patients, fostering trust, empathy, and understanding. This approach recognizes that healing involves more than just treating a medical condition; it addresses emotional and psychological well-being. By focusing on the human connection, nurses support patients’ dignity and uniqueness, promoting a compassionate and holistic approach to care that nurtures both the body and mind.
