This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an interventional program on nursing staffs’ practice toward physical therapy for patients with COVID-19. A pre-experimental (one-pretest-posttest) design was used to conduct this study. A non-probability (purposive) sampling was used to select (60 nurses) working in ICU. To measure the effectiveness of the interventional program, the researcher used a knowledge form that included (22) questions patient-oriented with COVID-19. The validity of the questionnaire and the interventional program was verified by presenting it to (12) experts. The reliability was determined using the test-retest approach for the knowledge questionnaire. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The study findings statistical mean of the overall nursing staff' practices in physical therapy was (1.005), p. value (.320) before implementation of the interventional program, while it becomes (12.483), P. value (0.000) High significant after the interventional program has been applied. When comparing the results of the study group before and after the implementation of the program, the results were statistically significant with a percentage of (9.834) P. value (0.000).
