| Sumario: | Inadequate attention is paid to the role of theory in guiding practice. three main factors affect the use of theory to guide clinical practice: insufficient theory knowledge, insufficient administrative support to encourage the development of theory-based interventions, and the busy task-oriented climate of many nursing settings. Pain management is a vexing problem confronting clients and healthcare professionals. the primary purpose of this paper is to introduce scholars and clinicians to the basic tenets of Dossey's (2008) theory of integral nursing to aid nurses in designing client-centered pain management interventions grounded in the theory's main constructs of holism and healing. |
