HEALTH EDUCATION SUPPORTED BY DIGITAL STORYTELLING
BehavioralThe health education program, supported by digital storytelling, to be applied to the experimental group is a four-week program. Sessions will be held face-to-face at family health centers one week apart. Telephone calls will be made during the first week to remind participants or inform them about their appointments. Four stories were created for the digital storytelling-supported health education program for the experimental group, using the website www.storyjumper.com. The first story covers the purpose and scope of newborn screenings, the second the testing process and possible outcomes, the third the definition of diseases and treatment options, and the fourth the parents' right to information and responsibility to participate in screenings.
Maternal Knowledge and Attitude Scale Towards Newborn Screening
The outcome criterion in this study is the level of knowledge and attitudes towards newborn screening. The measurement tool aimed at measuring this criterion is the Maternal Knowledge and Attitude Scale Towards Newborn Screening. The pre-test will be administered through self-report at family health centers where interviews are conducted with pregnant women, and the post-test will be administered through face-to-face interviews after the completion of a four-week health education program supported by digital storytelling.
