Counseling and health education have been implemented but there is no educational modules that focus on the empowerment of leprosy patients in improving self-care independence. This study aims was to develop educational modules by analyzing the relationship of the factors of nurse and patients in the patients' self-care independence. This study used descriptive design with cross-sectional type. The population of this study were all nurses and leprosy patients at Melati Room, Leprosy Hospital, Sumberglagah. The samples were obtained through purposive sampling, comprising eight nurses, 18 patients, and one functional task force coordinator. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that there was no correlation between nursing education and patients' independence (p = 0.410). There was no correlation between nurse's knowledge and patient's independence (p = 0.167) and there was no relationship between duration of employment and patient's independence (p = 0.66). Patient education was found to have correlation with independence (p = 0.036), there was correlation between knowledge and independence (p = 0.015), and there was also correlation between family support and independence (p = 0.015). In conclusion, there is no correlation between education, knowledge, and the length of nurse employment with the independence of patients, while there is correlation between education, knowledge and support for patient's families with selfcare independence. Health education should be implemented based on the module with the active participation of patients and families to achieve independence in self care that aims to reduce disability and increase confidence in leprosy patients.
