Although the literature seems to suggest that the caring professions have embraced a view of the 'whole' person, there are some important weaknesses in current models and practices. Nurses, as people, are often left out of the care equation. To offer creative and rounded care, nurses need to accept all aspects of both their own personalities and those of their clients. This exploratory paper argues that aesthetics and the arts are influential forces in all our lives, however, despite this, they are rarely discussed explicitly in the nursing literature. The value of aesthetics and the arts to the nursing profession is introduced and explored through reflections on the concept of empathy.
尽管文献似乎表明护理行业已经接受了对“完整”人的看法，但当前的模式和实践存在一些重要的弱点。护士作为个体，常常被排除在护理等式之外。为了提供富有创造性和全面的护理，护士需要接纳自身个性以及患者个性的所有方面。这篇探索性论文认为，美学和艺术在我们所有人的生活中都是有影响力的力量，然而，尽管如此，它们在护理文献中却很少被明确讨论。通过对同理心概念的思考，介绍并探讨了美学和艺术对护理专业的价值。
