Abstract
Background: End-of-life care (EOLC) is a continuum of palliative care for elderly COVID-19
patients which need more education. Critical care nurses earned benefits from an online education
to improve their knowledge and attitude regarding several kinds of practice. Aim of the study:
evaluate the effect of online education on critical care nurses' knowledge and attitude about end-of-
life care for covid-19 elderly patients. Design: A quasi-experimental research design (pre/post-test).
Sample: Convenient sample included 90 registered nurses who assigned to work at critical units of
the isolation University Hospitals, Cardiothoracic, Renal, and Liver Hospital at Minia University,
Minia City, Egypt. Results: critical care nurses’ Mean ± SD of age were (24.2 ± 2.9) and (58.9%)
of them were female. It was noticed that (20%) of the nurses had satisfactory knowledge about
EOLC for Covid-19 elderly patients at pretest and increased to (94.4%) at posttest. High percentage
of nurses had negative attitude about EOLC at pretest (86.7%) but at the post test (100%) of their
attitude changed to positive after the online education. Conclusion: The present study concluded
that online education improved critical care nurses’ knowledge and positively improved their
attitude about EOLC for the COVID-19 elderly patients. Recommendations: Critical care nurses
