Concepts such as Qi and yin yang theory are discussed, TCM therapies such as moxibustion are also explored. What is now called integrative medicine and integrative nursing has existed within China for centuries and is not new; however, there are still challenges to advancing integrative nursing in China, including a nurse shortage and the lack of a defined set of principles of integrative nursing.
