intervention on nurses’ performance post renal transplantation.
Resarch design: Quasiexperimental design wase used to achieve the aim of the study. Setting: The study was conducted at
Nasser Institute Hospital.

observational checklist to assess nurses’ practice related to caring of patients post kidney
