Florence Nightingale is considered to be the founder of holistic nursing. Holistic nursing care is an important aspect of nursing practice in that it emphasizes the care of the patient as a whole. It aims to improve health, reduce suffering and prevent illness. The nurse is part of the healing environment using warmth, compassion, caring, authenticity, respect, trust and relationship as instruments of healing in and of themselves.
