briefly talk about the sunrise model created by Madeline lehner in her transcultural

nursing Theory

Leininger’s Sunrise Enabler to Discover Culture Care

the sunrise model is a conceptual visual guide that depicts the interrelationships of
Culture, Care, diversity, and universality theory. it also illustrates the major components
of Leininger theory.
the model illustrates the factors influencing care.

so these factors are needed to be included for culturally competent care. hence the
sunrise model was created .

the model is a valuable guide for doing cultural logical healthcare assessments of
clients health needs integral part of the model in the theory include cultural care
meanings and practices

let's talk about the model structural level 1.

model structure level 1

level 1 reflects the one's worldview on cultural and structural dimensions

level 2
it represents the person with different parts which include factors such as
technological, religious and philosophical, kinship and social , cultural values, beliefs
and lifeways, political and legal factors, economic and educational.

it shows that a person is a product of a complex environment which in turn forms a

person's culture influencing a person's way of living and thinking

it shows that the person is a product of their culture. if the person is a product of their
culture that says that the person is influenced by their environment

moving on to level 3
level 3 represents the health

it provides information about folk and professional systems

the folk or generic system includes the clients traditional beliefs and practices on health
while the professional health systems are those nursing practices learn cognitively
through formal professional school of learning
the combination of the folk health system and the professional health systems
meets the biological psychological and cultural health needs of the patient.
also in this level the nurse acts as a bridge between the folk or generic care and the
professional system

level 4
represents the nursing part
and this depicts here the three modes of Nursing decision or action

the first mode is a cultural care preservation and maintenance

or in the nurse health declined family preserve or maintain their health beliefs and
values the

the culture care preservation and maintenance so here it includes assistive supporting
facilitative or enabling professional actions and decisions that help people of a
particular culture to retain or preserve relevant care values so they can maintain their
well-being recover from illness or even face handicaps or deaths

second mode is the culture care accommodation and negotioation wherein the nurse
negotiates with the client or the family for culturally congruent safe and effective care
for their health well-being or to deal with illness or dying

the third mode is the culture care Repatterning or restructuring which refers to the
nurses actions and decisions that help the client and a family in restructuring or
changing their lifestyles for new and different patterns that are culturally meaningful
satisfying or supportive of a helpful life

the stretch that I can see from this theory and the model is that it can be applied in
many different settings it is highly generalizable because the concepts and relationship
presented are at a level of abstraction which allows know them to be applied in many
different situations

conclusion
cultural knowledge will place a final role for nurses on how to deal with the patients to
start it helps nurse how the patient's culture and Faith system provide resources for
their experience in illness suffering and even death it helps nurses understand and
respect the diversity that is often present in a nurse's patient load

using the cultural knowledge to treat a patient or helps and be open-minded to

treatments that can be considered non-traditional such as spiritually based therapies
like meditation and anointing nowadays we nurses or as future nurses we must be really
sensitive to our patients cultural backgrounds when creating a nursing plan this is
especially important since so many people's culture so integral in who they are as
individuals and it is that culture that can greatly affect their health and their reactions to
treatments and care with these awareness of the differences allows the nurses to
design a culture-specific nursing interventions through modeling linger's Theory nurses
and as future nurses we can observe how patient's cultural background is related to
their health use that knowledge to create a nursing plan that will help the patient get
healthy quickly while still being sensitive to his or her cultural background
