In Sweden concepts of holistic care are well integrated in nursing curricula and health care legislation, but terms such as integrative nursing and integrative medicine is unfamiliar. A major challenge in Sweden is to inform and reform stakeholders in healthcare to acknowledge the benefits and value of evidence generated in (pragmatic-real world research) complex systems research since often integrative nursing methods are complex interventions where it is hard to rely on evidence of specific effects from individual elements of interventions. Experience based programs (on evidence informed integrative nursing practices) may be a key to create awareness among university staff, students, and future healthcare professionals of the qualities of integrative practices to promote and maintain health.
