Integrative Nursing

Fully updated and revised, the third edition of Integrative Nursing: A Whole Health Perspective continues to serve as a comprehensive guide to integrative patient care. Emphasizing a whole health perspective, this new edition incorporates the latest evidence-informed methodologies to revisit the foundations of integrative nursing and outline new strategies driving improved patient and system outcomes. Integrative nursing focuses on the true process of integration--how to offer care that combines biomedical approaches with evidence-informed integrative therapies and healing practices. From managing care of challenging symptoms such as nausea, pain, and anxiety to designing programs for special populations or clinical settings, Integrative Nursing offers practical, relevant, and rigorous information that informs practice, education, and research. This new edition centers the application of the principles of integrative nursing in real life settings, including Nursing Narratives on topics like chronic pain, hypertension, anxiety and nausea. The narratives draw from the expertise of an experienced and diverse group of nursing professionals and illustrate how systems of integrative nursing practice can be created and sustained both in clinical and community-based models of care. The revised chapters also focus on the social and structural determinants of health, the application of integrative nursing practices in diverse environments, and the importance of planetary health.
