Staff nurse perceptions of a healing environment.
This study uses a sample of staff nurses to identify perceptions of the characteristics of a healing environment that supported their practice of holistic nursing. A multiple method qualitative interview process provided an opportunity for candid discussion and deliberation. The essences of a healing environment are context, connections, and calling.
