Background: Nurses are key responsible for providing patients' teaching and giving information to promote their life quality, and healthcare decisions. This can be constructed through trusting nurses-patients relationships to assess learning needs, so nurses need to be equipped with required skills and knowledge to assume their role in patients' education.

Results: staff nurses' (91.6%, 40.40%, and 53.2%) had low level regarding knowledge, performance and value of their role of patients' education pre-intervention that was improved post-intervention. Conclusions: Majority of staff nurses had low knowledge as well as moderate and low-performance skills levels regarding their role in patients' education pre-intervention that improved postintervention.
