[Holistic nursing--definition and realization].

Holistic nursing This article focuses on the current discussion on holistic nursing. Looking at holistic nursing from a work psychological perspective a classification of nursing models is presented. So far, the prevalence of holistic nursing models was overestimated in empirical studies since there was a lack of relevant criteria. The proposed classification allows to differentiate models of nursing along the two dimensions: design of nursing organization and nursing principle. Preconditions and prospects of holistic nursing are discussed with regards to the completed and the current implementation of projects.
