are challenged to face complex situations, taking reasonable decisions and assessing alternative
solutions critically. Aim of the study: Was to enhance intern- nurses' critical thinking using selflearning package. Design: Quasi-experimental design was utilized to conduct this study. Sample:
All intern-nurses who are enrolled in the internship year at Beni-Suef University hospital at the time
of the study. The sample composed of (ll4) enrolled intern-nurses. Setting: This study was carried
out at Beni-suef University hospital. Tools: Two tools were used to collect data: Critical Thinking
Knowledge Questionnaire and Self-Learning Package Attitude Questionnaire. Results: There was
no statistically significant correlation between level of knowledge and level of self-learning package
attitude. Conclusion: There were improvements in the levels of knowledge regarding critical
thinking among studied intern-nurses in both study and control groups throughout immediate post
and follow up phases from the preprogram phase. Recommendations: Adopt self-learning packages

development over the course of their entire undergraduate careers
