    • To consider the necessity of developing distinct Christian nursing models.

    Main Methods:

    • Philosophical analysis of nursing models.
    • Theological reflection on core Christian beliefs.
    • Ethical reasoning applied to nursing practice.

    Main Results:

    • Many nursing models' philosophical underpinnings are incompatible with Christian doctrine.
    • Christian nurses must critically evaluate models for alignment with beliefs about human nature and societal values.
    • Rejection of certain models may be necessary to uphold Christian ethical standards.

    Conclusions:

    • Christian nurses need to be aware of the philosophical assumptions embedded in nursing models.
    • A critical assessment is required to ensure compatibility with fundamental Christian beliefs.
    • Developing unique Christian nursing models may be essential to fully integrate faith and practice.
