title: Patchwork and quilting as holistic health practice.
abstract: Patchwork and quilting can be part of holistic care to clients and their loved ones. Nurses can encourage clients to use these skills to promote health and divert their attention from their illness. They can also encourage clients' loved ones to make commemorative quilts. Such strategies will help to enhance the emotional and spiritual side of nursing.
