The content validity of tool is determined through a panel (14) of experts, while the reliability of it was measured by applying on (10) nurses, it was (0.89). The finding of the study indicated that (88.29%) of the sample were males, and (13.14%) were graduates of NursingCollege, and (50.57%) of them have less than five years as a duration in nursing experience. The analysis of findings shows that there is no significant differences according to the variable under study, except that of pre-operative knowledge in respect to age and educational variables of nurses.
