Nursing's historical commitment to holistic ways to come to know and understand through multiple modes of awareness necessitates an expansion of nursing assessment, intervention, and educational strategies. Aesthetic modalities in nursing practice expand our understanding of the human condition of the clients for whom we care and enhance our awareness of the meaning of being alive in health-illness situations. As a method of assessment and intervention, aesthetics provides unique means through which clients and nurses can explore personal perceptions of aspects of their world and fosters a creative sense of self-awareness. It is proposed that aesthetic techniques in nursing practice and education bring forth unique patterns of understanding that defy conventional communication and nursing therapeutic techniques. Further, the use of aesthetics in nursing practice begins during the educative process. The incorporation of aesthetic knowing into nursing education fosters caring, compassion, and fluidity in practice.
护理在历史上一直致力于通过多种认知方式来全面了解和认识，这就需要扩展护理评估、干预和教育策略。护理实践中的美学模式拓宽了我们对所护理患者人类状况的理解，并增强了我们对在健康与疾病情境中生存意义的认识。作为一种评估和干预方法，美学提供了独特的途径，通过这些途径，患者和护士可以探索他们对自身世界各方面的个人认知，并培养一种创造性的自我意识。有人提出，护理实践和教育中的美学技术会产生独特的理解模式，这些模式不同于传统的沟通和护理治疗技术。此外，美学在护理实践中的应用始于教育过程。将美学认知融入护理教育可在实践中培养关怀、同情和灵活性。
