Results: The study revealed that there was statistical significant difference in
nurse’s performance between pre and post implementation of the self-learning
package after six months and after one year regarding care of head injury
children. Conclusion: The study concluded that, the implementation of selflearning
package upgrade nurses’ knowledge and performance regarding care of
head injury children. Recommendations: The self-learning package for nursing
care regarding head injury children should be available in Neurosurgery
