Abstract: Background: Electronic fetal monitoring is a very important process to assess fetal status during labor. Purpose: To assess the effect of educational programs on the knowledge of internship nursing students regarding electronic fetal monitoring. Design: A quasi-experimental research design (pre- and post-test) was used. Methods: The study was conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Shebin Elkom Teaching Hospital. A convenient sample of all internship nursing students (180 internship nursing students) during the academic year 2022-2023. The instruments: A structured, self-administered interview questionnaire consisting of two parts: the socio-demographic characteristics of the study participants and an assessment of internship nursing students' knowledge regarding electronic fetal monitoring (pre- and post-test). Results: Internship nurses had higher level of knowledge after intervention than before intervention. There were highly statistically significant differences between the internship nurses' students' knowledge on the pretest and posttest. Conclusion: An educational program on electronic fetal monitoring carries a vital value for enhancing internship nursing students' knowledge, which ultimately leads to improved maternal and fetal outcomes. Recommendation: Regular educational programs about electronic fetal monitoring should be encouraged for all internship nursing students.
