Hemophilia is a coagulation disorder arising from a genetic defect of the X chromosome; the defect can either be inherited or result from spontaneous gene mutation. In each type of hemophilia (A, B, C, and willebrands disease), a critical coagulation protein is missing, causing children to bleed for long periods of time before clotting occurs. Aim: this study was a quasi- experimental aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the instructional module on the studied sample.
