Humanistic Theory
Humanistic nursing is the response of one person to another person who is in need.
The theory of humanistic nursing lays the foundation for all aspects of nursing care that is patient centered and focused. Nurses care for patients from birth until death and all that is in between. The humanistic nurse is completely available as a person in situations with their patients (Paterson & Zderad, 2007).
Patients under the care of clinicians/nursing are vulnerable and long for stability that open, honest communication can provide. Communicating the care of the clinician and needs of the patient, is the most basic form of humanistic nursing.
