Holistic care in nursing emphasizes treating the patient as a whole—integrating physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social aspects of care. This approach aims to achieve comprehensive well-being rather than addressing isolated medical symptoms. Also, it fosters a patient-centered perspective that builds trust, promotes recovery, and enhances the quality of life through individualized care.
