Abstract

Background: Holistic care, with its focus on addressing patients' physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs, has gained recognition for its potential to improve patient satisfaction and well-being. However, its implementation faces challenges, including the need for a clear conceptual definition and the integration of various healthcare specialties. This review aims to explore the holistic approaches in patient care, assess their effectiveness, identify barriers to implementation, investigate the role of different healthcare specialties, and provide recommendations for healthcare providers. Objective: The main objectives of this review are to explore holistic approaches, assess their effectiveness, identify barriers to implementation, investigate the role of different healthcare specialties, and provide recommendations for healthcare providers on incorporating holistic care into practice. Conclusion: Holistic care, as emphasized by Florence Nightingale, plays a crucial role in addressing patients' diverse needs and improving their overall well-being. Collaboration between laboratory specialists, pharmacists, and health administrators is essential in implementing holistic care approaches. Laboratory specialists provide valuable diagnostic information, pharmacists ensure safe medication use, and health administrators oversee care coordination. The impact of holistic care on patient health is substantial, leading to improved health outcomes and increased patient satisfaction. While challenges and differing perspectives exist, the benefits of holistic care in promoting healing on multiple levels and empowering patients are evident. Embracing holistic care can lead to more personalized and effective healthcare delivery, ultimately benefiting both patients and healthcare providers. In summary, this research article highlights the importance of holistic approaches in improving patient outcomes in hospital settings, emphasizing the potential benefits and the need for collaboration among healthcare specialties to integrate holistic care into practice.
