“…Florence Nightingale emphasized that nurses must use their hands, heart, and mind to create an improved and healing environment for patient care. In other words, it is the nurse's heart that covers a special aspect of their work duties that cannot be found in any industry-related jobs [ 40 ]. Holistic philosophy is central to the nursing profession, which respects the unique humanity of all people regardless of who they are.…”

Background The instruments used to measure presenteeism are all flawed and only incompletely measure the concept of presenteeism in employees of the general population. As a result, the concept of presenteeism is not measured, and in most of these instruments, the population for which the instrument has been developed differs from the nursing population. The present research was conducted to design and validate the instrument for evaluating presenteeism in nursing. Methods The present study was part of an exploratory sequential mixed study. In this study, the instrument for measuring the level of presenteeism among nurses was developed and validated based on the results of the qualitative stage. To this end, the instrument’s psychometric properties were investigated using face, content, and construct validity, as well as reliability through internal consistency and stability. Results In this study, an instrument containing 17 items and three dimensions (imperfect cognitive presence, imperfect emotional presence, and imperfect movement presence) with favorable validation characteristics was developed. Therefore, the instrument was able to explain 56.375% of the total variance. Furthermore, Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients were 0.881 and 0.815, respectively. The intra-cluster correlation coefficient (ICC) was also reported as 0.972 for the entire instrument, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.941 to 0.987. Conclusion Based this study, it was possible to measure the level of nurses’ presenteeism through an instrument with favorable psychometric properties. This study helps health managers lay the groundwork for designing a system for measuring presenteeism among Iranian nurses using the developed instrument.

“…Addressing health in a holistic way involves looking at the person as a whole and including assessments of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual forms of health ( O’Brien King & Gates, 2007 ). This view parallels the teachings of some Indigenous medicine wheel models where the goal is to find balance in all four directions ( Garner et al, 2011 ).…”

Holistic Health of Two Spirit People in Canada: A Call for Nursing Action

Purpose: In response to item 7.1 from the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Report (2019), calling on health service providers to recognize the importance in inclusive services with and for Indigenous peoples including Two Spirit, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, and asexual (2SLGBTQQIA) peoples, we undertook a review of the literature to identify the gaps in understanding and to better situate the health and resiliencies of Two Spirit people in Canada. Method: We conducted a review of 13 articles related to the health and wellness of the Canadian Two Spirit community. Overall, there was a dearth of Two Spirit specific health-related information. Results: Identified themes were grounded in the holistic Medicine Wheel teachings. These themes directly parallel holistic nursing in their demonstration that health is complex, and that there are many facets that make up an individuals’ health. Conclusion: Assessing the impact that colonization has had on the intersections of gender, race, sexuality, class, culture, and spirituality, Two Spirit people face unique health concerns. Considering the intersections of identity and structural barriers in place for this community, more research led by and in collaboration with the Two Spirit community is needed.

“…Florence Nightingale was the first nurse trained within a scientific curriculum who is recognized for practicing holistic care to patients by combining spirituality and science [17]- [19]. Nightingale believed that healing is a dynamic process of recovering from an affliction or disease, mending that which is damaged and, restoring and transforming the individual's body, mind, and spirit [20]. Nightingale personified her principle that spirituality is both "intrinsic to humans and compatible with science" [21].…”

Life threatening illness and related suffering are arguably situations in which holistic care is the most important. Holism, a century old concept, refers to healing the whole person-body, mind and spirit-rather than solely focusing on the physical suffering and treatment of a disease or condition. Holistic healing is the creation of a harmonious healing balance among the body, mind and spirit of each patient to achieve health for the entire being [1] [2]. Holistic care thus includes care for the whole person, includeing physical, psychosocial, emotional and spiritual care. Avoidance of spiritual care,
