View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

A profession's specific skills are supported by an organised and internally consistent body of knowledge. Through the introduction of the nursing process and 'holism', nursing is striving to gain professional autonomy and an identity independent of medicine. The status of nursing cannot be raised without tackling the issue of gender.

Integrating Swedish massage therapy with primary health care initiatives as part of a holistic nursing approach.

Nursing has long embraced a holistic approach to health care. Providing such an approach is also a goal embodied within many complementary therapy (CT) practices, such as Swedish massage therapy (SMT). Primary health care (PHC) reform initiatives as well often support a holistic approach to patient/client management. Presently, amongst the practices of nursing, a potential synergy between CTs and PHC domains has not as yet been adequately explored within the humanities and social/scientific literature. The purpose of this review is to address the potential of such a collaboration, as made feasible by incorporating an integrative medicine approach to enhance comprehensiveness of care, and in turn, holistic nursing.
