Abstract
Most nursing models are developed based on Western philosophy. The conceptual model of "human as an embodied spirit" based on Iranian mysticism and wisdom is presented in this article. This conceptual model was developed in 2 phases: first, using a derivation process, the concepts of the model were developed. Next, in a synthesis process, the conceptual model was constructed. Definitions and descriptions of each of the concepts of the model-the constitution of the physical body, the composition of graded soul, knowledge-based interventions, love-based interventions, balance, and harmony-and the relations between these concepts are presented in the article. This model gives equal value to the art and the science of nursing and integrates all dimensions of human being and related health problems in such a way that they can be explained and approached as a continuum. The next step is the testing of this model followed by the development of guidelines for education and practice.
