    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Nutrition Science
    • Pediatric Health

    Background:

    • Phenylketonuria (PKU) requires lifelong dietary management.
    • Effective patient education is crucial for adherence to dietary restrictions.
    • Traditional educational methods may not always meet individual patient needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a programmed instruction unit for PKU dietary management.
    • To assess the reliability, validity, and effectiveness of the programmed instruction unit.
    • To gauge parental satisfaction with the programmed instruction tool.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a programmed instruction unit focused on PKU and dietary management.
    • Evaluation of the unit with ten mothers of children with PKU.
    • Assessment of learning through pre- and post-test scores.
    • Analysis using correlated sample student t-test.

    Main Results:

    • All ten mothers demonstrated significant improvement in post-test scores (p < 0.0005).
    • The programmed instruction unit was found to be reliable, valid, effective, and enjoyable.
    • Mothers responded favorably, recommending the tool for new families.

    Conclusions:

    • Programmed instruction is a valuable and effective tool for patient nutrition education, specifically for PKU dietary management.
    • This method offers self-paced, individualized learning that can supplement traditional counseling.
    • Programmed instruction holds potential for broader application in patient nutrition education.
