(2.56) while the pre-knowledge was (1.715) with a P.
Value equal to 0.000. This means the respondents were
better in Knowledge after the program. The total mean
for post-test practice was (2.189), while the pre-test
practice was (1. 306) which is statistically significant as
evident by the P. Value equal to 0.00. this means that the
respondents were better in practice after the program
with highly statistically significant differences.
Conclusion:All the study findings reflect nurses’ desire,
willingness, and motivation to learn as evident by the
study nurses’ knowledge and practice about preeclampsia improvement in post-test.Recommendations
for continuous educational programs to improve nurses’
