Madeleine Leininger was a nurse and anthropologist who developed the Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, also known as Transcultural Nursing Theory. Some key points of the theory are: - Culture influences people's health beliefs and practices and nurses must consider a patient's cultural background. - The Sunrise Model depicts how social, cultural, and environmental factors influence health and care. It represents a holistic view of individuals within their cultural context. - For nurses to provide culturally congruent care, they must make three decisions: cultural care preservation or maintenance, cultural care accommodation or negotiation, and cultural care repatterning or restructuring. - The theory is based on

9. TRANSCULTURAL NURSING/ CULTURAL CARE DIVERSITY AND UNIVERSALITY THEORYThe upper half of the circle represents a part of the whole socio-cultural structure and world view factors. These factors influence the care, patterns and expressions towards health and well-being of an individual, families, groups and institutions through language and environment. The same factors also influence folk and professional nursing.

10. The Sunrise Model depicts human beings as inseparable from their cultural background and social structure, worldview, history and environmental context as a basic tenet of Leininger’s theory. Gender, race, age and class are embedded in social structure factors and are studied. Biological, emotional and other dimensions are studied from a holistic view and not fragmented or separate.

11. 3 Nursing DecisionsTo provide Culturally Congruent Nursing care

12. Assumptive Premises1. Human caring is a universal phenomenon, but the expressions, processes, structural forms, and patterns of caring vary among cultures.2. Caring acts and processes are essential for human birth, development, growth, survival, and peaceful death3. Care has a biophysical, cultural, psychological, social and environmental dimension, and the concept of culture provides the broadest means to know and understand care.4. Nursing is a transcultural phenomenon as nurses interact with clients, staff, and other groups, and requires that nurses identify and use intercultural nurse-client and system data.

13. 5. Care behaviors, goals, and functions vary transculturally because of the social structure, worldview, and cultural values of people from different cultures.6. Self and other care practices vary in different cultures and in different folk and professional care systems.7. The identification of universal and non universal folk and professional caring behaviors, beliefs and practices is essential to discover the epistemological and ontological base of nursing care knowledge.8. Care is largely culturally derived and requires culturally based knowledge and skills for satisfying and efficacious nursing practices.9. There can be no curing without caring but there can be caring without curing

14. “Care is the heart of nursing; Care is power; Care is essential to healing; Care is curing; and care is the central and dominant focus of nursing and transcultural decisions and actions.”
