While post-operative and at the time of follow-up; control group still had an unsatisfactory level of knowledge and most of the study group patients became having a satisfactory level of knowledge. Conclusion: providing written program for patients was much more effective on the outcome and decrease complications of patients who had lower limb amputation than those patients in the control group who received resident's oral instructions.
