Head nurses' ability to identify and manage polarities helps to save time and resources; build trust and reduce resistance to change, accelerate and sustain achievement of better performance. Aim of the study: Determine the effect of polarities management educational program for head nurses on their performance. Study design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Setting: The study was conducted in all medical and surgical departments at Benha University Hospital. Subjects: Consisted of all head nurses (61) who worked at medical and surgical departments. Tools of data collection: Three different tools were used to collect data: I. Polarity Management Knowledge Questionnaire, II. Polarity Management Practice Checklist, III. Head Nurses Performance Observational Checklist. Results: More than three fifth (63.9.8%) of head nurses had unsatisfactory knowledge regarding polarity management at preprogram phase, that improved to (82.0%) and (80.3%) satisfactory level at post &follow up of program phases respectively. More than two thirds (68.9%) of the head nurses had poor practice level regarding polarity management, that improved to be (85.2%) and (82%) to good practice level at post program and follow up phase. Only (11.5%) of the head nurses had high performance level in pre-program phase that improved to be (83.6%) in post program and (80.3%) in follow up phase. Conclusion: There was a highly statistical significance correlation between head nurses’ knowledge, practice regarding polarity management and their performance at post and follow up program.
