HEALTH EDUCATION SUPPORTED BY DIGITAL STORYTELLING
The 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.
