Psychedelic therapies intentionally combine a caring/healing environment, psychotherapy, and psychedelic medicine as a powerful means of treating intractable conditions of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. This article utilizes the nursing theory of human caring science, as articulated by Jean Watson, to describe the essential and fundamental human caring qualities in psychedelic therapy. By mapping these qualities onto the traits of a psychedelic therapist, articulated by Janis Phelps and illustrating them with qualitative, exemplar data from a psilocybin assisted therapy study, we have created a nursing-informed philosophical theoretical framework with which to begin to examine questions related to trust enhancement between patient and therapist, therapeutic communication of openness to patient experiences, mutual learning between therapist and patient, the influence spiritual or psychedelic practices of the therapist on outcomes, optimizing therapeutic healing environments, and care of the physical body during psychedelic therapy sessions. This article is intended to identify themes and generate hypotheses for future nursing-informed psychedelic psychotherapy research.

The care provided to persons who experience sexual violence is complex and needs to be individualized and account for the person’s expressed needs. Nurses have the potential to facilitate the recovery from such traumatic events. Utilizing Watson’s theory of human caring science, nursing care practices provide an influence through their utilization of artistry with caring-healing processes and attending to the healing environment for people. The authors in this article present a case study enlightening the applicability, implementation, and outcomes of caring for patients with this experience sensitively and holistically.

Nursing Quality

The medical approach to performing a cardiac catheterization is changing from femoral artery to radial artery access. This technique radically changes patient recovery, as patients can sit up immediately following the procedure, ambulate almost immediately post procedure, and may recover in their street clothes. Nursing care and the healing environment was reframed using Watson’s (2008) theory of human caring to enhance patient outcomes and to improve nursing quality indicators for patients undergoing a transradial catheterization and recovery. The design of a radial recovery lounge or cath café was undertaken using a theory-guided nursing approach to create a holistic caring-healing environment.

Human Caring

Infants who are born premature require hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In this study, 10 parents and seven grandmothers were interviewed with the purpose of exploring their experiences of having a premature infant in the NICU being cared for by nurses whose practice was grounded in Watson's theory of human caring caritas processes. Qualitative descriptive analysis revealed expressions of the caring moment lived as an intentional presence, within the context of the caritas processes to care for the infant and family, with loving-kindness, helping trusting relationship, creating caring healing environment, and allowing for hope and miracles.

Therapy Sessions

In 2008, the authors’ team started an ongoing project to administer music therapy sessions for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Studies were made conducted from the “caring” perspective to evaluate the effects of music therapy on the mental health of the patients (Inomata, 2008a, Inomata 2008b) and on the role of nurses in integrative medicine (Inomata, 2008c). On the basis of the findings from these studies, music therapy programs were designed and conducted to meet the different needs of various neurodegenerative diseases. This project was the first ever reported music therapy initiative undertaken as a multi-disciplinary collaborative work and in partnership with a patients’ group (Saji, 2010). The findings from four years of running the project are summarized as follows: (1) Music therapy helped maintain/improve the QOL(Quality of Life) level of neurodegenerative disease patients, which would otherwise deteriorate with the progress of symptoms; (2) There was an improvement in the patients’ psychological and spiritual health as exemplified by the expansion of consciousness and rebuilding of relationships; (3) The project increased the feeling of partnership among the multi-disciplinary team members; (4) Care providers shared values such as self-belief and respect for both the self and others; (5) Caring for patients’ emotional side by being compassionate and staying with them and/or listening to them resulted in a stronger care provider-patient bond; (6) Nurses were engaged in the building a healing environment as “healers,” and the patients found more hope in everyday life.

Dynamic Interplay

An optimal healing environment is created through the deep and dynamic interplay between people, place, process and culture. Over 1,000 papers have been published linking the physical environment to outcomes related to patients and staff. Integrative nurses are well positioned to be leaders in the planning of healing spaces. This chapter defines “healing environment”; describes research on the impact of the designed environment; and discusses the effects of such factors as nature, daylight, positive distractions, aesthetics (including color), and an ambient environment on health and wellbeing. A case study of an optimal healing environment using North Hawaii Community Hospital is presented.

Creating an optimal healing environment requires attentiveness to the built environment as well as care processes, culture, and competencies of care providers and leadership. There are over 1,000 studies that link the physical environment to outcomes such as health care quality, patient safety, reduction of stress and improvements in patient safety. Key design elements highlighted include access to nature, access to daylight, positive distractions, and the ambient environment.
