Female Genital Mutilation and Transcultural Nursing: adaptation of the Rising Sun Model
Abstract
This document presents un article on Female Genital Mutilation and Transcultural Nursing: adaptation of the Rising Sun Model. Female Genital Mutilation is a widespread practice mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa and is considered an affront on the dignity and health of women and young girls. The factors used to justify this act are diverse and convert the tradition into a form of cultural care. From this viewpoint, nurses might evaluate the supposed justifications via the Rising Sun Model in order to redirect such a practice through nursing interventions such as: research into propagating factors, sensitizing through hindering factors or health education, highlighting the contradictions existent in the justification of Female Genital Mutilation.
