good amount of research. Of course in every pathology lesson we look
in a holistic way towards caring and healing. Evaluation forms from my
students confirm their need to comply with their practical character and
desire to have simple, but effective small interventions, supported by as
much research and experience from the field of nursing as possible.
This also gives them the tools to speak to doctors and managers
