Abstract
Background: Human monkeypox outbreaks in non-endemic areas have recently spawned a new
public health concern. Aim: to evaluate educational sessions about monkeypox disease affected
nurses' knowledge and attitudes at the fever, liver, and digestive system hospital in Benha city.
Design: A quasi-experimental design with a pre- and post-test was used in this study. Setting: The
research was carried out at the fever, liver, and digestive system hospital in Benha city's outpatient
clinic, Egypt. Subjects: A convenient sample size of 100 nurses was used. Data collection tools:
There were two tools used: Tool (I): A self-administered questionnaire divided into two sections:
Part one discusses the nurses' characteristics, and part two discusses the nurses' knowledge of
monkeypox disease. Tool (II): Concerned about nurses' attitudes toward monkeypox disease.
Results: The mean total knowledge and attitude scores before and after program application
differed statistically significantly (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The use of educational sessions
increased nurses' knowledge and attitude toward monkeypox. Nurses' posttest knowledge, practice
knowledge, and attitudes were higher than their pretest scores. Recommendations: Continuous
campaigns to increase nurses' knowledge are necessary because controlling outbreaks necessitates extensive collaboration from knowledgeable and skilled healthcare providers through educational
courses and awareness programs.
