Abstract
Background: Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) is life-threatening
complication of liver disease occurs with liver failure and may result from the
accumulation of ammonia and other toxic metabolites in the blood. Aim of the
study: Was to evaluate the impact of educational program for hepatic
encephalopathy on nurse's performance and patient's outcomes. Research design: A
quasi-experimental research design will be utilized. Sample: All the available
nurses (40) who are caring for patients with hepatic encephalopathy regardless of
their age and years of experience. Sample sizes of at least 50 patients with hepatic
encephalopathy. The study was conducted at Intensive Care Units at Benha
University Hospital. Tools were obtained through three main tools; Structured
Interview Questionnaire Sheet, Nurse's Observational Checklist for hepatic
encephalopathy care and Patient's Outcomes Sheet. Results: There is a highly
statistically significant difference between knowledge and practice of studied
subjects pre, immediate after implementation and 3 month post implementation of
designed hepatic encephalopathy program (P < 0.000**). There was a highly
statistically significant difference between nurse's performance and patient
outcome of designed hepatic encephalopathy program. Recommendation:
