Existentialism philosophy in nursing education

Abstract

Existentialism, as a philosophical movement, places great emphasis on the concepts of individual freedom, choice, and responsibility [1, 2]. In the context of nursing education, the principles of existentialism can be effectively applied by urging students to acknowledge and appreciate the unique experiences and perspectives of each patient [3]. By adopting a holistic and individualized approach to care, nurses can better cater to the specific needs of their patients [4].
