Advancing Holistic Care in Opioid Use Disorder- Leadership, Person-Centered Strategies, and Scholarly Engagement in Advanced Nursing Practice

Person-centered care refers to the provision of health care services that fulfill the needs of patients. This type of care requires the nurses to work in concert with patients and identify their preferences and beliefs (Kwame & Petrucka, 2021). This feedback forms the basis for making key clinical decisions, including the treatment plan and nutrition. Good communication skills are the best way to create rapport and promote person-centered care (Kwame & Petrucka, 2021). Nursing personnel should uphold desirable verbal and nonverbal cues during their interaction with patients. Good skills that involve active listening, paraphrasing, and proper turn-taking are important. These skills facilitate an accurate reporting of presenting complaints, history, and preferences.

Holistic nursing care entails managing the person as a whole. It ensures that all patient’s needs are addressed. The nature of the needs is diverse: economic, cultural, social, spiritual, physical, and emotional (Hajbaghery, 2018). Holistic care promotes a better understanding of a patient and increases their satisfaction with nursing care. I will apply the principles of holistic care in my future nursing practice. To achieve this, I will aim to create rapport through open communication. Subsequently, this will enable me to have an intricate understanding of the patients. Based on the feedback, I will utilize pharmacological and nonpharmacologic approaches to manage patients. Techniques such as aromatherapy and hydrotherapy can fulfill patients’ desires.

Holistic care will enable me to uphold cultural humility. A patient’s way of life should be respected. Patients should be respected regardless of their different perceptions of their health and wellness. Accordingly, I will embrace critical thinking, communication skills, and tolerance to maintain cultural humility (Hughes et al., 2020). Self-reflection will enable me to identify my beliefs and approach to healthcare versus patients’ perceptions (Chen et al., 2019). It will also enable me to identify mistakes and address them. Furthermore, I will acknowledge my strengths and work to embolden them. Finally, self-reflection will improve my professional practice and promote the realization of holistic nursing care.
