The public health problem that developing countries face, including Indonesia, especially Surabaya, is Malnutrition.
This study aims to produce a self-care learning exchange model for families with malnourished children in Surabaya, Indonesia.
The study used a research and development approach undertaken in three stages: literature review and field observation, a survey using the Delphi technique to obtain consensus about the model, and a focus group discussion. The research involved a sample of 169 respondents selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected with the help of questionnaires and interviews.
The five components of the SCLE model that are important for improving the nutritional needs of malnourished children include planning, implementation, evaluation, timing and indicators of success.
SCLE model could be used as a complementary solution to help families overcome the malnutrition problems, by emphasizing the shared learning aspect in the process of transferring knowledge and parenting behaviour.
