Background: Accreditation programs affect the positive performance of family health centers in different areas. Family healthcare services are crucial to early diagnosis and delivering preventive, curative, and palliative care across the life course. Aim of the study: It was to assess the effectiveness of educational program for nurses regarding accreditation standards of family health centers. Subjects and Method: Design: A quasi-experimental design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at Bettena and Damro family health centers at El-Mahala El-Kobra, which are affiliated with Ministry of Health and Population. Subjects: It consisted of all nurses (82 nurses) from two family health centers. Tools: Three tools was used: Monitoring checklist about accreditation standards for family health centers, Knowledge structured questionnaire, and Observational checklist. Results: The majority (91.5% & 92.7%) of nurses had a good level of knowledge immediately post-program and a satisfactory performance post three months of the program regarding accreditation standards, respectively. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant correlation between nurses' overall knowledge and their overall performance about accreditation standards of family health centers pre- and post-program. Recommendations: Family health centers managers need to maintain periodic educational training programs for nurses in order to improve their knowledge and skills about the accreditation standards of family health centers | ||||
