AB [EN] Background and Purpose: The role of older women close to the pregnant womanmay be relevant when conveying information. The use of theories/models canguide the development of nursing practice. Purpose: To explore beliefs and practicesrelated to pregnancy and childbirth from the perspective of older women who gavebirth at home, applying Leininger’s Sunrise Model. Methods: Qualitative approach,using semi-structured interviews with 24 older women who gave birth at home(rural area, Spain). Manual content analysis of the data was used, and SunriseModel guided to explore the role of culture and the factors affecting maternity care.Results: Two main categories emerged: beliefs/practices related to physiologicalaspects (subcategories: minimal intervention, hygiene, pain control, rest, feeding)and to psychosocial aspects (subcategories: spiritual well-being, company). Implicationsfor Practice: The experiences of older women who gave birth at homehelped us to understand some beliefs that survive in some pregnant women, similarin different cultures, and divided into physiological and psychosocial aspects.An interesting fact to consider to provide cultural care. Older women have a relevantrole as transmitters of information, and can provide some keys to plan healthinterventions, as companions or counselors. Applying the Sunrise Model, we verifiedthe weight that culture has in maternal health care, and the multiple factors thatinterfere with the way of caring. The application of models helps us to improve nursingpractice: not only should we focus on knowing the physical aspects, but also thesocial and cultural circumstances surrounding the pregnant woman.
