Florence Nightingale developed an environmental theory of nursing in the 1850s based on her experiences as a nurse in the Crimean War. She believed the environment, including factors like ventilation, light, noise, and cleanliness, was a major influence on health and the healing process. According to Nightingale's theory, nurses should manipulate the physical, psychological, and social environment to support a patient's natural healing abilities. By optimizing all aspects of the environment, the nurse facilitates recovery and helps the patient regain their health. Nightingale's theory emphasized the role of environment in nursing and laid the foundation for modern holistic nursing practice.
