Results: Nurses had higher level of knowledge on post -test related to definition, indications, suitable time, complications, time needed for diagnosis, and time needed for therapeutic or surgical treatment of hysteroscopy (100%) compared to (2.2%) on pretest. Also they had higher level of performance on posttest (91.1%) than pretest (13.3%) related to pre, intra, and post-operative preparation for women undergoing hysteroscopy.
