The instruments used were questionnaires and observations. The independent variable is the development of the Leininger model theory, while the dependent variable is the degree of public health. Variables were analyzed descriptively on each variable and then analyzed by t-test to determine the difference between the independent variable and the dependent variable with a significance level of 0.05.

Results: The results showed that there were differences before and after mentoring students with community leaders regarding the development of the Leinenger theory model and the degree of public health. The results of the statistical test with the results obtained sig = 0.000 < 0.05 probability means that there is a difference before and after the companion on the development of the Leinengre theory model with the degree of public health. The statistical test results obtained sig = 0.000 < 0.05 probability, which means that there is a difference in the development of Leininger's nursing theory model with the degree of public health with the assistance of Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery Unusa students and community leaders in East Java.
