Aim of the study: Wasto evaluate the effect of educational program for nurses regarding neonatal hormonal changes and metabolic stress response after surgery. Design: Quasi experimental study design was used. Setting: This study was conducted at Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Units at Specialized Children Hospital in Benha City. Sample: A convenient sample of 60 nurses and a purposive sample of 50 neonates. Tools of data collection: Four tools were used for data collection (Characteristics of children and nurses structured interviewing questionnaire, behavioral observation checklist for neonates, observational checklist to assess nurses’ level practice and pain assessment scale). Results: Majority (93%) studied nurses had competent level of knowledge score in post-educational program, while the majority (90.3%) of them had good score of practice post-educational program intervention.Conclusion: Educational program was effective in improving nurses’ knowledge and practice after implementation of educational program and more than three quarters (78%) of studied neonates had moderate pain in post intervention.
