 Abstract 

 

Chronic diseases are common health problems around the world. Although health behavior habits are affected by the incidence and severity of them. Phenyl ketone urea disease is an autosomal recessive disorder with enzymatic deficiency that causes these patients to be at risk by developing mental disorders. This study attempts to investigate the effect of self-care education on the quality of life of phenyl ketone urea in Tehran Children Medical Center in order to improve the quality of life in the country. This study is cross-sectional and interventional, in which patients between 7 to 35 years old were 99. Data collection tool was a standard questionnaire of quality of life with 36 questions including 9 quality of life components. For data analysis, T-Test and linear regression were used. In the control group, the mean change in quality of life and the study group were 37.99 ± 13.21 and 55.64 ± 5.57 respectively (p <0.001), and the results showed a significant correlation between self-care education and quality of life. According to the heritability of the Phenyl Ketone Urea disease as well as lack of control of physical and mental health disorders that cause illness, continuing education programs could lead to a dramatic reduction in behavioral disorders. Self-care education can be designed to comply with the patient which plays an important role in improving the quality of life and level of public health of society.
