Aim: To examine the effect of eye care learning package for mechanically ventilated patients on critical care nurses' performance. Method: Quasi-experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study. Sample: A convenience sample of 50 nurses working at the Main Mansoura University Hospitals was included in this study. Tools: Data were collected using two tools. Tool I: Eye Care Knowledge Questionnaire. This tool included two parts; part 1 covered the socio-demographic characteristics of the studied nurses, and part 2 involved an eye care knowledge questionnaire. The second tool was the eye care observational checklist. Results: after learning package implementation; there was a highly statistically significant improvement in critical care nurses’ performance regarding eye care for mechanically ventilated patients. Conclusion: the findings of the current study revealed statistically significant improvements in critical care nurses' performance postimplementation of the learning package compared to pre-education. Recommendations: Based on the current study findings, continuous training programs for critical care nurses’ regarding eye care for mechanically ventilated patients are recommended to improve the patients' outcomes.
