Holistic nurses believe that healing leads to restoring, discovering and/or recognizing one’s inherent wholeness even within the face of sickness, and death. Holistic ideas and values support nursing practice. They embody, however aren't restricted to: care, presence, intuition, comfort, deliberation, love, and compassion in addition as religious recovery and quality of life. These ideas and values want exploration so as to know, refine and clarify however they support the healing method. Holistic Nursing analysis develops data and assists in providing the follow primarily based proof that's required to rework health care into holistic care. This needs dedication to developing and fostering resources that assist in making, deciphering and conducting holistic analysis. We have a tendency to believe that each one holistic nurse will participate in analysis by move queries, consistently grouping data to answer those queries, and implementing the results.

It would be very hard to find a nurse who saw only the physical aspect of care as that which defines nursing. We all know that when a person is hurting emotionally, all sorts of physical ailments crop up. On the other hand, physical conditions can affect the mind and spirit. The nursing profession has traditionally viewed the person as holistic, though the term itself was only introduced into the nursing literature in the 1980s by Rogers, Parse, Newman and others. Today we speak of a person as a Bio Psycho Social unit.
Restoring wholeness is a legitimate goal of nursing, and so the term 'holistic' from the Greek ‘ Holos ' meaning whole or complete, is a very appropriate way to describe what we aim to do. Yet we may not always stop to consider the full implications of that concept. Holism has been defined as "concerned with the interrelationship of body, mind and spirit in an ever changing environment". See Slide.1 The American Holistic Nurses Association define wellness (health) as “That state of harmony between body, mind and spirit". The essence of holistic care is to help a person attain or maintain wholeness in all dimensions of their being. Consequently nurses need to be prepared to provide care in each of these areas. In this Presentation I wish to consider the spiritual dimension - the nature of Spirituality (Sanctity), the needs of the spirit, and the role of the nurse in caring for the Spirit (Life force).

Few would disagree that nursing is one of the most underrated professions in modern times. Being a nurse isn’t easy. In fact, it is a field that can be extremely demanding and even unforgiving to those who pursue it. Being around the ailing and the frazzled for long hours and dealing with them patiently day after day can be challenging, to say the least.

Unraveling Health's Mysteries: The Power of Functional Medicine"
Welcome to the world of Functional Medicine, a transformative approach to healthcare. In this presentation, Unlocking the Mysteries of Health: The Power of Functional Medicine," we explore an innovative way of understanding and treating health problems. Unlike traditional medical practices, which often focus on symptom management, functional medicine goes deeper. It aims to treat the individual as a whole, integrating modern scientific knowledge with traditional healing wisdom. This approach takes into account every aspect of an individual's life, from genetic make-up to lifestyle choices, and offers a more comprehensive pathway to health and well-being.
The Core Philosophy of Functional Medicine
At the heart of functional medicine lies a simple yet profound philosophy: every individual is unique, and so should be their healthcare. Functional medicine approaches are not just about treating diseases but are about understanding the unique needs and challenges of each patient. This approach combines the best of conventional medicine with holistic health strategies, focusing on patient-centered care. It acknowledges that good health is not merely the absence of disease but a state of immense well-being where every aspect of the individual's life is in harmony.
The Role of Genetics in Functional Medicine
One of the key aspects of functional medicine is the use of genetic testing in functional medicine. Genetics can provide crucial insights into an individual's health predispositions and how they might respond to different treatments. In this section, we will discuss how genetic testing is used in functional medicine to tailor treatments and prevention strategies to each individual's unique genetic profile. This approach not only helps to address current health problems, but also to prevent future ones, providing a roadmap to lasting health.
Nutrition and Diet in Functional Medicine
Nutrition plays a pivotal role in functional medicine. Nutritional plans in functional medicine are developed not just to counteract diseases but to enhance overall health. These plans are personalized, taking into consideration an individual's dietary needs, lifestyle, and health goals. We'll delve into how functional medicine uses nutrition as a tool for healing, discussing the connection between diet and various health conditions, and how simple changes in eating habits can have profound effects on an individual's well-being.
Understanding the Mind-Body Connection
Functional medicine recognises the powerful connection between the mind and body. This part of the presentation will explore how mental health is considered an integral part of overall health in functional medicine. We'll discuss various strategies such as mindfulness, stress management and counselling that are incorporated into treatment plans.

But in reality, surya namaskar has different poses and is a complete workout for your entire body. All the different poses of the surya namaskar have their own benefits.
Success is goals and all else is commentary
Success is goals and all else is commentary. This is the great discovery throughout all of human history.
Your life only begins to become a great life when you
1. Clearly identify what it is that you want,
2. Make a plan to achieve it and then
3. Work on that plan every single day.
“The primary reason for failure is that people do not develop new plans to replace those plans that didn’t work.”
The three turning points in my life were these:
First
Discover Self.
I discovered that I was responsible for my life, and for everything that happened to me.
I learned that this life is not a rehearsal for something else. This is the real thing.
In every study of successful people, the acceptance of personal responsibility seems to be the starting point.
Before that, nothing happens. After you accept complete responsibility, your whole life begins to change.
Second
Discovery of goals.
The second turning point for me, which came when I was 24 years old, was my discovery of goals.
Without really knowing what I was doing, I sat down and made a list of 10 things I wanted to accomplish in the foreseeable future. I promptly lost the list. But 30 days later, my whole life had changed. Almost every goal on my list had already been achieved or partially achieved. The third turning point in my life came when I discovered that
“You can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal you can set for yourself.”
Third
No one is smarter than you and no one is better than you.
All business skills, sales skills and moneymaking skills are learnable. Everyone who is good in any area today was once poor in that area. The top people in every field were at one time not even in that field and didn’t even know that that field existed. And what hundreds of thousands of other people have done, you can do as well.
The Goal-Setting Process 1.
Decide exactly what you want in every key area of your life.
Start off by Idealizing. Imagine that there are no limitations on what you can be, have or do. Imagine that you have all the time and money, all the friends and contacts, all the education and experience that you need to accomplish any goal you can set for yourself. Imagine that you could wave a magic wand and make your life perfect in each of the four key areas of life. If your life was perfect in each area, what would it look like?
1. INCOME – how much do you want to earn this year, next year and five years from today?
2. FAMILY – what kind of a lifestyle do you want to create for yourself and your family?
3. HEALTH – how would your health be different if it was perfect in every way?
4. NET WORTH – how much do you want to save and accumulate in the course of your working lifetime?
Three Goal Method – in less than 30 seconds, write down your three most important goals in life, right now.
Write quickly. Whatever your answer to this “Quick List Method
The five that Peter Senge identifies are said to be converging to innovate learning organizations. They are:
1. Systems thinking
2. Personal mastery
3. Mental models
4. Building shared vision
5. Team learning
He adds to this recognition that people are agents, able to act upon the structures and systems of which they are a part. All the disciplines are, in this way, ‘concerned with a shift of mind from seeing parts to seeing wholes, from seeing people as helpless reactors to seeing them as active participants in shaping their reality, from reacting to the present to creating the future’ (Senge 1990: 69). It is to the disciplines that we will now turn.
Systems thinking – the cornerstone of the learning organization
A great virtue of Peter Senge’s work is the way in which he puts systems theory to work. The Fifth Discipline provides a good introduction to the basics and uses of such theory – and the way in which it can be brought together with other theoretical devices in order to make sense of organizational questions and issues. Systemic thinking is the conceptual cornerstone (‘The Fifth Discipline’) of his approach.
Learning Organization.
Where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire
Where new patterns of thinking are nurtured
Where collective aspiration is set free
Where people are continually learning to see the whole together
“When you ask people about what it is like being part of a great team, what is most striking is the meaningfulness of the experience. People talk about being part of something larger than themselves, of being connected, of being generative.”

Esteem is a simple word. It is worth and value that we apply to people, places, and situations. It is the amount of respect we assess. We have esteem for our world leaders. We have esteem for places like church and synagogue. We have esteem for an exemplary performance whether it is in sports, acting, or simply doing the right thing.
But the most important place we need to apply esteem is within ourselves. We must maintain our self-esteem in order to place value on ourselves as a worthy individual in the world.
Self-esteem can affect every single part of our lives. If our esteem is low, our lives will be dull and gray. Elevating esteem for ourselves is a crucial key to happiness in life.
Most people's feelings and thoughts about themselves fluctuate somewhat based on their daily experiences. The grade you get on an exam, how your friends treat you, ups and downs in a romantic relationship – all can have a temporary impact on your well-being.
Your own self-esteem, however, is something more fundamental than the normal "ups and downs" associated with situational changes. For people with healthy basic self- esteem, normal "ups and downs" may lead to temporary fluctuations in how they feel about themselves, but only to a limited extent. In contrast, for people with poor basic self-esteem, these "ups and downs" may make all the difference in the world.
People with poor self-esteem often rely on how they are doing in the present to determine how they feel about themselves. They need positive external experiences to counteract the negative feelings and thoughts that constantly plague them. Even then, the good feeling (from a good grade, compliment from a boss, loving words from a family member or friend, etc.) can be temporary.
Healthy self-esteem is based on our ability to assess ourselves accurately (know ourselves) and still be able to accept and to value ourselves unconditionally. This means being able to realistically acknowledge our strengths and limitations (which is part of being human) and at the same time accepting ourselves as worthy and worthwhile without conditions or reservations.
What we want to do is help you raise your self-esteem to levels that will enhance your life and the way you view life. It can make a tremendous difference in your quality of life. Learning techniques to raise self-esteem can be taught and put into practice in just a few days. However, it will take commitment and consistent practice to keep your healthy self-worth nurtured and nourished in your daily life.
We can show you how to improve your self-esteem in just one weekend! Three short days applying the information in this book and you will be on your way to healthy self-esteem as your life becomes the bright place it is meant to be.
Personalities is the sum total of individual’s Psychological traits, characteristics, motives, habits, attitudes, beliefs and outlooks.
Personality is generally defined as the deeply ingrained and relatively enduring patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. In fact, when one refers to personality, it generally implies to all what is unique about an individual, the characteristics that makes one stand out in a crowd.
Systems Thinking is a way of seeing and talking about reality that helps us better understand and work with organization and communities to influx the quality of our lives.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current challenges faced by mental health professionals working within the legislative and correctional landscapes. Topics of discussion will include the prevalence and impact of mental health issues among the incarcerated population, the effectiveness of existing mental health policies and legislation, and potential reforms to enhance the mental health support system within prisons.
1. Holistic Nursing
• Holistic nurses believe that the human
being, composed of a mind, body and
soul integrated into an inseparable whole
that is greater than the sum of the parts,
is in constant interaction with the
universe and all that it contains.
• Health and well-being depend on
attaining harmony in these relationships.
• Healing is the journey toward holism.
Using presence, intent, unconditional
acceptance, love, and compassion,
holistic nurses can facilitate growth and
healing and help their clients to find
meaning in their life experiences, life
purpose, and reason for being.
2. What is Health?
• Does it go beyond
physical experience?
• Is it the absence of
disease?
• What does health
have to do with the
way we think?
• How is it related to
our relationships with
others and with the
environment?
3. Holism and health
• Come from the
root as Heal,
Whole and Holy.
• Health is the state
or process in
which the
individual
experiences as a
sense of well-
being, harmony,
and unity, where
subjective
experiences about
health, health
beliefs, and value
are honored.
(Dossey & Guzzetta,
2005)

• Each component is interdependent and interrelated
• It is necessary to address all these components to
achieve optimal therapeutic results

9. What is Holistic Nursing?
Florence Nightingale
Florence
Nightingale, byname
Lady with the Lamp, (born May
12, 1820, Florence [Italy]—died August
13, 1910, London, England), British
nurse, statistician, and social
reformer who was the
foundational philosopher of
modern nursing.
Who believed in care that
focused on unity, wellness,
and the interrelationship of
human beings and their
environment, is considered to
be one of the first holistic
nurses.
10. • Holistic nursing is generally defined as
all nursing practice that has healing the
whole person as its goal.
• A holistic nurse is a licensed nurse who
takes a “mind-body-spirit-emotion-
environment” approach to the practice
of traditional nursing.
• Holistic nursing is based on a
philosophy of living and being that is
grounded in caring, relationship, and
interconnectedness.
• A holistic nurse recognizes and
integrates the principles and modalities
of holistic healing into daily life and
clinical practice.
• Holistic nursing encourages nurses to
integrate self-care, self-responsibility,
spirituality, and reflection in their lives.
What is Holistic Nursing? …Contd.
11. What is the history of holistic nursing?
Present-day holistic nursing is based on the work of Florence Nightingale. It was not until
the mid-20th century that nursing began to emerge as a profession and became linked to
developments in western medicine. Since 1970, many nurse scholars have described
nursing as being concerned with the whole person. Dossey developed a theory of nursing
that includes an integral worldview that builds upon a solid holistic, integrated, and
multidimensional theoretical nursing foundation. Unlike previous theories of nursing, this
theory serves to explain the function of the inner world of the nurse as a vital component
of nursing practice.
These and other influences, such as research linking the mind and body and an emphasis
on patient-centered care, have affected the development of holistic nursing. The American
Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) was founded in 1980 to serve as a voice for holistic
nurses and to promote the education of nurses and others in the philosophy, practice, and
research of holistic caring and healing. The American Holistic Nurses Certification
Corporation (AHNCC) was founded in 1997 to credential holistic nurses. AHNCC has a
collaborative relationship with AHNA to advance the role of holistic nursing and to provide
educational opportunities in holistic nursing.
Is holistic nursing a specialty practice?
The American Nurses Association (ANA) officially recognized holistic nursing as a specialty
area of nursing practice in 2006. Specialty status provides holistic nurses with a
foundation for practice. It provides a clear depiction of who we are to the rest of the world
of nursing, other healthcare professionals, and the public.
12. • Holistic nursing is a specialty practice that
draws on nursing knowledge, theories,
expertise and intuition to guide nurses in
becoming therapeutic partners with people
in their care.
• This practice recognizes the totality of the
human being – the interconnectedness of
body, mind, emotion, spirit, social/cultural,
relationship, context, and environment.
What is Holistic Nursing? Contd.
13. Holistic Nursing
• All help with nursing practice the goal is
to help recovery of someone thoroughly
• Nurses see patients as humans in total
where there is a connection between
body, mind, emotion, social / culture,
spirit, relations, context and environment
(American Holistic Nurses’ association)
14. • The holistic nurse is
an instrument of
healing and a
facilitator in the
healing process.
• Holistic nurses honor
each individual's
subjective experience
about health, health
beliefs, and values.
Holistic Nursing
15. • Holistic nurses may
integrate
Complementary/Alter
native Therapy
(CAT) into clinical
practice to treat
people’s
physiological,
psychological, and
spiritual needs.
Holistic Nursing
16. Holistic Nursing
Doing so does not negate
• The validity of conventional
medical therapies, but Serves to
complement, broaden, and enrich
the scope of nursing practice and
• To help individuals access their
greatest healing potential.
17. Complementary and Alternative Therapy
• The terms Complementary and Alternative
are often used interchangeably , but they are
equivalent in meaning.
• Complementary implies a therapy used in
conjunction with a conventional one.
• Alternative therapy refers to one that is
utilized instead of conventional treatment
18. Complementary and Alternative
Therapy
Many Americans use Complementary and
Alternative Therapy (CAT) in pursuit of health
and well-being.
The 2007 National Health Interview
Survey (NHIS), which included a
comprehensive survey of CAT use by
Americans, showed that approximately
38 percent of adults use CAT
19. Defining CAT
Defining CAT is difficult, because the field is
very broad and constantly changing.
CAT is defined as a group of diverse medical
and health care systems, practices, and
products that are not generally considered
part of conventional medicine.
20. Conventional medicine
Conventional medicine (also called Western or
allopathic medicine) is medicine as practiced by
holders of M.D. (Medical Doctor) and D.O. (Doctor of
Osteopathic Medicine) degrees and by allied health
professionals, such as physical therapists,
psychologists, and registered nurses.
21. Complementary medicine
"Complementary medicine" refers to use of CAT together
with conventional medicine, such as using accupuncture
in addition to usual care to help lessen pain.
Most use of CAT by Americans is complementary.
"Alternative medicine" refers to use of CAT in place of
conventional medicine.
22. Integrative medicine
"Integrative medicine" combines treatments
from conventional medicine and CAT for
which there is some high-quality evidence of
safety and effectiveness.
It is also called integrated medicine
23. Types of Complementary Alternative Therapy
Alternative Therapies are organized in 7 categories:
1.Natural products
2.Mind-body intervention
3.Manipulative and Body-Based Practices
4.Energy therapy
5.Alternative system of medical practice
6.Pharmacologic and biological treatment
7.Diet and nutrition
24. Natural products
Includes use of a variety of
Herbal medicines (also
known as botanicals),
vitamins, minerals, and
other "natural products”.
Many are sold over the
counter as dietary
supplements e.g., taking
a multivitamin to
meet minimum daily
nutritional requirements or
taking calcium to promote
bone health.
Also include probiotics
that available in foods
(e.g., yogurts)
25. Mind-body intervention
Mind and body practices focus on the
interactions among the brain, mind, body,
and behavior, with the intent to use the
mind to affect physical functioning and
promote health.
For example meditation, guided imagery,
hypnotherapy, deep-breathing exercise,
relaxation, tai chi, etc
26. Manipulative and Body-
Based Practices
Manipulative and body-based practices focus
primarily on the structures and systems of the
body, including the bones and joints, soft
tissues, and circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Commonly used therapies
1.Spinal manipulation
2.Massage therapy
27. Energy therapy
Involve the use of energy fields
Two types:
• Bio field therapies and
• penetrate the human body.
Practices based on putative energy fields (also
called biofields) generally reflect the concept that
human beings are infused with subtle forms of
energy; Reiki, and healing touch/Therapeutic
touch are examples of such practices
28. Alternative system of medical
practice
They are built upon complete system of theory and
practice.
These system have evolved apart from and earlier
than the conventional medical approach used in
the United States.
For example:
1.Acupuncture,
2. Indian Ayurveda
3.Chinese medicine, etc
29. Pharmacologic and biological treatment
These include substance that are used like
certain pharmaceuticals.
For example shark cartilage therapy for cancer
and chelation therapy for coronary artery
disease , etc
30. Diet and nutrition
Hippocrates said that food should be used
as medicine.
This category include research on the effects of
