HEALING: THE GOAL OF

HOLISTIC NURSING
HEALING VS. CURING

Healing and curing are different pro-cesses.

Curing is the elimination of the signs and symptoms
of disease, which may or may not correspond to the
end of the patients disease or distress.
The diag-nosis and cure of disease provide the focus
of the modern health care (sick-nesscure) system.
This is not a wrong focus, only an incomplete one.
When it is estimated that 85% of health problems
are either self-limiting or chronic, it becomes clear
that something in addition to a focus on the curing
of diseases is required.
That something is healing, which is different from
curing in several key ways
THE ART OF HOLISTIC NURSING

Nursing is a science, and it is also an art.

Those in the field of nursing have made many
advances in describing the science of
nursing. Exactly what constitutes the art of
nursing is less clear. Interpreting the art of
nursing as the nursing arts places the
emphasis on the proper techniques em-
ployed in the tasks of nursing, such as
bathing the patient, making the bed, and
administering medication.
