Background: Femoral neck fractures are one of the most common fracture types occurring in the elderly worldwide, which are associated with significant mortality, morbidity and disability rates. Aim of study: Wasto evaluate the effect of an educational program on satisfaction and outcomes among patients with femoral neck fracture. Design: A quasi -experimental design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at Orthopedics ward, at Al Shifa Medical Hospital, in the Gaza Strip- Palestine. Study sample: A purposive sampling of adult patients between 18 and 60 years old from both genders was approached to recruit 68 patients. Subjects were divided into study and control group (34 patients in each). Tools: The patients’ satisfaction questionnaire and the Barthel index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) were used, in addition to socio-demographic clinical characteristics and patients’ knowledge regarding the fractures. Results: Majority of subjects in the intervention group were satisfied (94.1%), however, it decreased after month post intervention (79.4%). The mean knowledge score significantly improved immediately post and one month post the intervention (15.56±1.92 and 19.56±1.83, respectively). Similarly for the activities of daily living (10.0±2.42, and 16.94±2.90, respectively). significant positive correlation was seen between the ADL and patients' knowledge immediately post and after one month (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The education program resulted in significant improvement of patients' knowledge, satisfaction and outcomes immediately and one month post intervention. patients' knowledge correlate positively with ADL. Recommendation: The educational program implementation to patients’ knowledge support should be included in routine nursing care as a protocol pre and post femoral neck fracture surgery and at the time of follow up phase
