by Mary Jo Kreitzer (ed.), Mary Koithan (ed.)

Fully updated and revised, the third edition of Integrative Nursing: A Whole Health Perspective continues to serve as a comprehensive guide to integrative patient care. Emphasizing a whole health perspective, this edition incorporates the latest evidence-informed methodologies to revisit the foundations of integrative nursing and outline new strategies to improve patient and system outcomes.

Integrative nursing focuses on the process of combining biomedical approaches with evidence-informed integrative therapies and healing practices. From managing challenging symptoms such as nausea, pain, and anxiety to designing programs for special populations or clinical settings, the book provides practical, relevant, and rigorous information to inform practice, education, and research.

This edition highlights real-life applications of integrative nursing principles through nursing narratives on topics such as chronic pain, hypertension, anxiety, and nausea. Written by an experienced and diverse group of nursing professionals, these narratives illustrate how systems of integrative nursing practice can be created and sustained in both clinical and community-based care models. Revised chapters also emphasize social and structural determinants of health, application of integrative practices in diverse environments, and the importance of planetary health.

Balancing academic rigor with practical content, this book is designed for established professionals as well as students in undergraduate or graduate nursing programs. It offers actionable insights that can be readily implemented into practice, fostering a holistic approach to healthcare.
