Abstract
Nursing is an art. Becoming a nurse requires more preparation for care than becoming a painter or sculptor. This is because they work with a lifeless canvas or marble, while nursing deals with a living body, which is the dwelling of the divine spirit. Many experts consider the art of nursing a combination of scientific facts, awareness, and a simultaneous integration of nurses' knowledge and understanding [1]. Nursing is widely regarded as an art where the concepts of art and practice in care are interwoven [2]. In a broader sense, nursing is an art of clinical decision-making and reasoning [3]. The art of nursing involves understanding the meanings of patient interactions, establishing meaningful relationships, and skillfully performing nursing interventions [4]. The art of nursing is about the creative use of nursing knowledge in clinical skills [5]. Therefore, the art of nursing refers to the innovative and purposeful skills to convey emotions and concepts to others [6]. In nursing, art means understanding the concept of health and human interactions and using nursing experiences in clinical decision-making [1]. According to Wiedenbach, the art of nursing is the integration of nursing knowledge and theories in clinical skills [7], as all nursing theories emphasize that nursing is both the science and art of care [1].
