title: [Esthetics in nursing].
abstract: According to the author's opinion aesthetics in nursing is interaction with people and environment. Balance between respect of a human being and presence of the form, colour, rhythm and peace of environment is related to it. The aim of aesthetics is to bring pleasure, joy, comfort, hope and beauty and in addition to all this, to strengthen self-experience of a human being. Aesthetic atmosphere at its best can encourage a human being to use images which is psychic activity that gives deeper understanding concerning her events of life and their personal meaning. Aesthetics can promote health of a human being and improve the quality of life--when one thinks of patients and personnel.
