Holistic care is described as the therapeutic treatment which aims to healing the whole person. The holistic care plan aims to provide therapeutic care to the body, the mind, and the spirit while including the patient in his/her own care to promote a healthier self. In holistic environment, both the nurse and the patient work as a team to attend the level of wholeness. To attend this goal, the care provider must possess excellent communication skill because communicating effectively with the patient will help the provider to learn about the patient’s concerns, feelings and preferences. McEvoy and Duffy (2008), explained that providers must be sensitive to the patient's spiritual and cultural belief systems, must present self as caring, present and integrating spirituality into the nursing care plan in order to meet the needs of the patient in a holistic manner (p. 417).
