measures to control COVID- 19 infection is the most critical intervention. Aim: To evaluate
the effect of online educational program on COVID19 patients' knowledge, self-monitoring,
and self-care. Subjects and methods: Design: A quasi-experimental (Pre & Post-test) study

areas and online posttest one month later after discharge from isolation areas. Setting:
Isolation area at Assiut university dorms, in addition to isolation areas in all Assiut university
hospitals which include Main University Hospital, Urology University Hospital and Al-
Rajhi University Hospital , moreover online posttest from patients' homes .Tools: Three tools
were used which conducted by on line way, on-line self-reported COVID -19 knowledge
questionnaire, daily self-monitoring form and self-care questionnaire. Results: there was a
significant statistical difference between pre, post online education regarding patients’ self-
care toward COVID-19 in physical, mental, professional, and social well-being domains with
p.value (0.0001, 0.004, 0.0001,and 0.0001) respectively. Also, there was a positive
