Tools of data collection: Three tools were included 1) A self-administered questionnaire 2) women's knowledge questionnaire 3) self-care reported practices questionnaire. Results: There was a marked improvement in knowledge and self-care reported practices of studied sample regarding preeclampsia after implementation of the continuous care model with highly statistically significant difference (p<0.001) and there was highly statistically significant positive correlation between total knowledge and total self-care reported practices regarding preeclampsia at pre-intervention and post-intervention phases (p<0.001). Conclusion: Continuous care model had a positive effect on knowledge and self-care among women with preeclampsia.
