Reasons for Not Providing Holistic Care to Nursing Home Residents
Keywords:
nursing care, institutional care, the elderlyAbstract
A human is a biopsychosocial being in constant interaction with an ever-changing environment. Holistic care means that the nursing and care providers in a nursing home must satisfy the residents' physical, social and spiritual needs. The aim of the research was to determine the reasons for not providing holistic care. Data was collected with partially structured interviews which were analyzed qualitatively. Three auxiliary nurses, three health technicians and three registered nurses, who are employed at the nursing home, were involved in the research. It was established that the reasons for not providing holistic care to residents in the nursing home are: a lack of staff, motivational factors, a lack of knowledge and time. It is important that all nursing and care providers understand the dimension of the concept of holistic care and that the personnel and organizational factors which will enable the holistic treatment of residents are systematically regulated.
