AIM: The purpose of this study is to analyse the usage of nursing care model based on culture to improve parenting practices related to malnutrition among Madurese children. METHODS: This study uses a quasi-experimental design and a purposive sample of 102 respondents from families with toddlers who suffered from nutritional deficiency. The sample consisted of an intervention group (n = 51) and a control group (n = 51). Data were collected using a questionnaire and weight measurement. RESULTS: A t-test found a difference between all of the variables of care, including health technology utilization, when comparing the following variables between the intervention group and the control group (t = 14.12, p < 0.001), beliefs and philosophy (t = 10.20, p < 0.001), cultural values and lifestyle (t = 13.63, p < 0.001), economic reasons (t = 0.20, p = 0.837), nursing action response based on culture (t = 11.28, p < 0.001), and care behaviors for children (t = 16.43, p < 0.001). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test found a difference between pre-intervention nursing care model based on culture and post-intervention nursing care model based on culture regarding the variable malnutrition status (t = 16.43, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: This study found that the application of nursing care model based on culture affects care practices. Nursing care model based on culture can be applied to families with toddlers who are malnourished because of the lack of a culture of care.

This research aimed to analyze nursing education excellence in 54 nursing schools in East Java, Indonesia, using Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence (BCFPE) to evaluate competitive advantage on an international level. Data were collected through interviews; questionnaires; and documentation from heads of departments, lecturers, and students. Data obtained using the Baldrige modified questionnaire were analyzed with descriptive statistics and then classified using the BCFPE score. Results showed that these schools of nursing were still in the early growth stages in all areas measured. Their overall achievement scores were below 50%. The schools of nursing could achieve world-class performance and competitive advantage in nursing education, emerging as industry leaders, by improving leadership; customer focus; strategic planning; measurement, analysis, and knowledge management; human resources focus; and learning process.
