Nurses have a great role in caring of such group of patients.

Tool I: A Structured interview Knowledge Questionnaire; Tool II: Nurses' Observational Checklist. Results: The study results showed significant differences pre and post implementation of the intervention program regarding nurses’ level of knowledge and practice compared to their pre-intervention levels with (p = 0.00). Conclusion, the results of this study concluded that the implementation of the intervention program revealed a significant positive improvement of nurses' knowledge and practice level regarding care of patients with heart failure.
