“…[65], as well as more sustainability in the short term, exceptional events such as epidemics, natural disasters, economic crises, etc., must also be considered, as such events exacerbate the risk factors faced by workers. Educational strategies are fundamental [70,71], especially from a holistic perspective [72,73]. They are the basis of prevention, and it is, therefore, urgent that they are integrated, as has been pointed out, into the initial and ongoing processes of these professionals.…”

Due to their continuous contact with pain and death, healthcare workers have one of the most stressful professions. Pain and death are more common in nursing homes. During the health crisis associated with COVID-19, these work centers have been characterized as spaces of high vulnerability to infection for the elderly, with a high mortality rate. This research aims to determine how the health crisis associated with COVID-19 has influenced healthcare professionals working in nursing homes for the elderly. Using a quantitative and cross-sectional method, the research was developed in residential centers in the Region of Murcia (Spain) during the second wave of the pandemic. A survey design based mainly on the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was employed. MBI measures three subscales: emotional burnout, depersonalization, and self-fulfillment. The results show that 6.4% of the respondents were burned out, 53.8% of the participants were emotionally exhausted, 35.1% were found to suffer from depersonalization, and in the case of personal development, the respondents showed a low level of 15.6%. This study shows the need to consider the establishment, in the academic environment, of training programs for health professionals related to coping with, managing, and identifying stress, especially in adverse circumstances. Similarly, in the professional field, it is necessary to develop strategies to prevent stress and anxiety in the workplace. The development of training programs for this purpose is essential for achieving a sustainable work context.

“…With increased frequency, exemplars of intraprofessional and interdisciplinary partnerships, as well as myriad approaches to promote human-planet thriving, are being shared in the literature as potential pathways toward SDG attainment (Dossey et al, 2019). It has been noted that the UN SDGs provide an opportunity to move philosophy toward praxis, a venue to make tangible the theories and worldviews that have shaped and continue to drive the holistic evolution of the profession (Watson, 2017).…”

“…The SDGs reflect nursing’s disciplinary heritage and the holistic health considerations prioritized by Florence Nightingale in her Notes on Nursing (Nightingale, 1860) and throughout her authorship in articles, books, army documents, editorials, and letters that continue to wield a modern–day context and application (Dossey, 2010; Beck, Dossey, & Rosa, 2018; Dossey, Rosa, & Beck, 2019). These “Global Goals” also call to the forefront Nightingale’s three core tenets, relevant to both individual/population health on a global scale and the foundations of holistic nursing: healing, leadership, and global action (Dossey, Selanders, Beck, & Attewell, 2005).…”

Holistic nursing is founded on the values of integrality and the awareness of whole-people and whole-system interconnectedness. These concepts are foundational to the broader global health agendas and initiatives of our time, which seek to improve human, animal, and planetary health. The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development represents the most remarkable transnational initiative in history: a 15-year plan (2015-2030) rallying the efforts of all countries, governments, and concerned citizens worldwide to foster human–planet thriving and survival. The purpose herein is to substantiate the United Nations 2030 Agenda as a holistic nursing priority and theory-practice opportunity for current and future professional maturation. This article provides a background of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a discussion regarding their relevance to holistic nursing, and an explanation of the essential nature of partnerships in attaining each of these “Global Goals.” We link the discussion of the SDGs directly to the American Holistic Nurses Association’s Core Values and identify implications for practice, education, research, and policy. Holistic nursing is ideally situated throughout the health care system and in the broader global context to advocate and advance the SDGs.

“…Theory-guided practice continues to inform discipline-specific care as well as agendas of advocacy. Nurses across settings and in all nations worldwide play pivotal roles in the global attainment of the SDGs through acts of concerned citizenship and professional leadership (Dossey, Rosa, & Beck, 2019; Rosa, 2017a; Rosa, Sullivan-Marx et al, 2019). Theory breathes into the world the determination of Florence Nightingale, the grit of Lillian Wald, and the soul of all global nurse leaders who have gone unnamed or uncelebrated.…”

The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are intended to promote a safe, healthy, and equitable world by the year 2030. Nurses are at the forefront of realizing the 2030 agenda through concerned citizenship and professional leadership. Nursing theory informs knowledge development and theory-guided practice essential for nurses working in all domains and in all nations. Although all extant nursing theories are relevant, a select few are discussed in detail to make explicit the links between theory and SDG realization. Middle-range theories are also valuable in helping to contextualize nursing practice through the lens of the SDGs. The SDGs address five themes - People, Planet, Peace, Prosperity, and Partnership - and theory remains vital to ensure nurses working in all settings are equipped to meet the needs of humanity and the world, now and in the future.
