Integrative and Complementary Healthcare in Nursing Practice

Integrative and Complementary Healthcare in Nursing Practice blends conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies (e.g., massage, mindfulness, aromatherapy, acupuncture). It emphasizes holistic, patient-centered care that treats the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, rather than just isolated symptoms.
Nurses use these modalities for health promotion, symptom management (e.g., pain, anxiety), and improving overall quality of life. This approach bridges the gap between traditional clinical treatments and a patient's personal, cultural, and spiritual healing needs. To safely and effectively incorporate these practices into clinical care, nurses rely on specialized training to assess for potential contraindications, patient safety, and drug interactions.
