From the beginning of the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health (NIGH), our NIGH team chose an interactive-integrative paradigm to ‘connect the dots’ of our work—thus guiding NIGH’s projects and our long-term vision. With this perspective, NIGH's work has evolved by using Dr. Barbara Dossey’s grand nursing theory--the Theory of Integral Nursing—informed by an in-depth study of Nightingale’s life--developed and adapted from Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory (Dossey, 2019; Wilber, 2000).
Based on these initial endeavours, NIGH has established four Integral Advocacy Mandates as illustrated by the second Integral Model below.
