Leininger Sunrise

Model
The Leininger Sunrise Model represents the structure of culture care theory by describing the relationship
between anthropological and nursing beliefs and principles. Nurses use this model when making cultural evaluations
of patients. The model connects the concepts of the theory with actual clinical practices, while offering a systemic
approach to identifying values, beliefs, behaviors, and community customs. The model encompasses numerous
aspects of culture: religious, financial, social, technological, educational, legal, political, and philosophical
dimensions. These factors, along with language and social environment, significantly affect the services delivered by
systems, whether traditional or professional. Traditional healthcare systems are based on conventional beliefs related
to health, whereas professional systems rely on learned knowledge, evidence-based practice, and research. The
nursing profession considers patients' physical, spiritual, and cultural needs. A thorough understanding of these
needs facilitates the achievement of desired clinical outcomes. Moreover, Leininger's model helps healthcare
professionals to avoid the stereotyping of patients. To accomplish such goals, the model utilizes three concepts:
culture care maintenance/preservation, culture care negotiation/accommodation, and culture care
restructuring/repatterning. Cultural preservation refers to nurses' provision of support for cultural practices, such as
employing acupressure or acupuncture for anxiety and pain relief prior to medical interventions. Similarly, cultural
negotiation refers to the support provided to the patients and their family members in carrying out cultural activities
that do not pose threats to the health of the patients or any other individual in the healthcare setting. Finally, cultural
restructuring refers to nurses' efforts to deliver patient-centered care by helping patients modify or change their
cultural activities. Cultural restructuring is suggested only when certain cultural practices may cause harm to the
patient or those in the surrounding environment. These concepts can inform nurses in achieving their ultimate goals.
