Life skills and nursing

Life skills are a category of soft skills that are needed to successfully navigate the challenges of daily life, both personal and professional. They include the ability to set and achieve goals, make decisions, solve problems, and effectively manage one's time. Life skills are those soft skills that largely rest in the individual. Once mastered, life skills help a person in every aspect of his life. A comprehensive literature search was performed using specific keywords. Main focus of the literature search was about life skills and its relation with nursing. Literature shows that life skills training causes significant improvement in the nurses’ physical functioning, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, mental health, physical health and ultimately quality of life. Also it increases nurse's happiness.
