Abstract

The role of family nursing is crucial in providing comprehensive care, given that the family is a fundamental unit that influences individual health and overall social dynamics. A holistic approach ensures that every aspect of family life-from physical, emotional, social, to spiritual dimensions-is fully integrated in the planning and implementation of nursing care to achieve optimal family functioning. This study aims to narratively review relevant literature on the implementation of a holistic approach in family nursing, with a focus on strategies and interventions that support the health and well-being of the family as a whole. Through this review, it is hoped to identify key factors that contribute to the effectiveness of this approach, as well as challenges that may be encountered in its application across different healthcare contexts. The methodology employed in this narrative review involved a comprehensive search across multiple electronic databases to identify pertinent studies, ensuring a broad scope of literature relevant to holistic family nursing. The results suggest that effective interpersonal communication, social support and family satisfaction are important elements in achieving harmony and well-being. In addition, this review is expected to provide insight into important factors that influence the delivery of holistic care by nurses, including the education system, professional environment, and personal characteristics.
