Key Concepts
The Empowered Holistic
Nursing Education (EHNE) nursing theory is a middle range nursing theory that
was developed between 2008 and 2014 by Dr. Katie Love. It is particularly used
in undergraduate level nursing education, where students are first being
socialized into nursing professional practice
Major Concepts
The EHNE principles are the basis of the theory as Love
identified. They are described as:
Prior knowledge: Knowledge and experience
the student brings is the foundation from where learning begins.
Meet them where they are: Making teaching
responsive to the diverse learning needs of students, and where the teacher
learns from the student.
Interconnectedness: Experiencing our
connection to one another, being present, and growing together.
Self-Care: Nurturing ourselves so
we may nurture others.
Contextual Teaching and Learning: Addressing the environmental
factors that influence readiness to learn, such as mind-body-spirit imbalance,
values and beliefs, with culturally appropriate education and holism.
