The satisfaction of pregnant women seeking help is one of the essential qualitative indicators of health care provision and is of exceptional importance in antenatal care. The satisfaction of pregnant women is achieved by meeting their needs and expectations (Al-Ateeq & Al- Rusaiess, 2015). Regarding the pregnant women's satisfaction towards the self-instructional module, the results of the current research revealed that the majority of mothers were satisfied with the self-instructional module, and this supported the fourth research hypothesis. The few percentages of mothers who were uncertain and dissatisfied with the self-instructional module (4.4% and 4.1%), respectively, were not preferring the very long subjects and their complexity. This result was supported by Gamel et al. (2017), who mentioned that the intervention group had agreed that the self-care guide is easy to be used and the majority of them reported that they would use it in the future pregnancy which reflects their satisfaction from the self-care guide.
