Instructional materials play a crucial role in the educational process, providing teachers with the necessary tools to effectively convey information and engage students. This tri-sectional study aimed to develop outcome-based education instructional material in the Care of the Mother at Risk or with Problems (Acute and Chronic) and determine the acceptability of its usage to easily present and discuss the course through a hybrid learning modality for educators and learners. More specifically this study wanted to assess the performance of nursing students in the Care of the Mother and Child at Risk or with Problems (Acute and Chronic) maternal concept as a basis for instructional material; to develop an outcome-based education instructional material for the Care of the Mother at Risk or with Problems (Acute and Chronic) based on assessment; to test the developed outcome-based education instructional material, to determine the acceptability of outcome-based education instructional material; and to propose an outcome-based education instructional material for institutional evaluation and review.
