Tools of data collection: Four tools were used for data collection; I: Emotional stability knowledge questionnaire, II: Self-report regarding emotional stability skills, III: Attitude toward emotional stability questionnaire, and IV: Decision making ability questionnaire. Results: Most of the studied head nurses (96.0%) and (88.0%) had satisfactory knowledge levels at immediate post and follow-up phases respectively compared with pre-program phase (10.0%). The most of studied head nurses (80%) and (66.0%) had competent emotional stability skill level at immediate post and follow-up phases respectively compared with pre-program phase. Nearly three-quarters (72.0%) and three-fifth (60.0%) of studied head nurses had a positive attitude regarding emotional stability at immediate post-program and follow-up < br />phases, respectively, compared with the pre-program phase (18.0%). Also the most of the studied head nurses (94.0%) and about three quarters (74.0%) had high decision-making ability level at immediate post-program and follow up phases respectively compared with pre-program phase. Conclusion: There was a positive highly statistically significant correlation between total head nurse’s knowledge, skills, and attitude regarding emotional stability and their decision-making ability during immediate post and follow up program phases while there was no statistically significant correlation at pre-program phase.
