Salutogenic Psychosocial Nursing Practice

Independent Practice

Barbara Artinian, Ph.D., R.N.

Azusa Pacific University

Public affirmation of core principles for relating with clients is needed in order to assure continued viability of quality nursing practice in this era of competition and managed health care. Practitioners of professional nursing can reassert their legitimate claim to quality nursing care through an emphasis on the practice of salutogenic psychosocial nursing. The presumption is that clients, families, and communities who benefit from salutogenic nursing care are more likely to heal and stay well because they have developed competencies for managing the details of their health situations. This paper presents key characteristics of salutogenic psychosocial nursing, along with their implications for assuring quality nursing practice.
