The aim of this research: was to evaluate the effect of teaching instructions for mothers of children with permanent pacemaker on their knowledge and selected child's outcomes. Design: a pre-post-test quasi-experimental research design was utilized to achieve the aim of the current study. Sample: A convenient sample of 50 mothers of children under five years have implanted permanent pacemaker participated in the current study.

Results: the study results revealed that there were highly statistically significant difference between the means of three readings for selected child's outcomes (pacemaker complications, respiratory and cardiovascular efficiencies) and mothers’ knowledge before and after receiving the instructions.
