Patient – Centered Nursing: Proving Outcomes through Holistic Care

Abstract

Patient-centered care has become the paradigm of modern healthcare, with an emphasis on individual, respectful, and holistic care, making patients the center of the clinical decision-making process.  This criticism explores the concepts and importance of patient-centered nursing in an integrative approach to its ability to meet physical health needs as well as psychological, social, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well-being.  With the emerging complexity and technology-based nature of healthcare systems, the need to ensure more caring and responsive care has become increasingly critical, thus rendering nurses as the essential agents of patient-centered care.
