| Background: Improving the quality of patient care is the target of health professionals anywhere. It is believed that the quality of nursing care offered in a hospital is affected by a number of factors as nurses' preparation and training at work. The aim of the study was to measure effect of a nursing care training program on staff nurses' performance and empowerment. Setting: The present study was conducted in the Emergency Hospital at Zagazig University Hospitals. A sample of convenience 60 staff nurses, from the above mentioned settings, were recruited for the study, as inclusion criteria at the start of the study with overall responsibility for provision of direct nursing care to surgical patients and having at least one year of experience. Tools: Three tools were used for data collection: Knowledge questionnaire to examine staff nurses' knowledge related to care of surgical patients, an observational checklist for nurses' surgical practices and Nurses' psychological empowerment questionnaire it translate into Arabic. These tools were used before implementation of the program, immediately after its implementation and three months later. Results revealed that there are highly statistically significant positive correlations between knowledge, performance and psychological empowerment immediately and follow up for nurses caring for the surgical patients. Therefore, it was concluded that, study revealed lack in nurses' knowledge, performance and psychological empowerment before implementation of the training program. However, implementation of the designed training program had a positive effect on nurses' knowledge, performance and psychological empowerment immediately and at follow up phase (three months later) for nurses caring the surgical patients. | ||||
