Madeleine Leininger's Sunrise Model, a cornerstone of transcultural nursing, has profoundly influenced nursing practice by emphasizing the importance of cultural awareness and culturally congruent care. This model encourages nurses to consider the cultural beliefs, values, and practices of patients when providing care, leading to more effective and personalized treatment plans. By integrating cultural understanding into nursing practice, the Sunrise Model promotes holistic patient care and improves health outcomes for diverse populations.
