Internal consistence of the questionnaire was ascertained by cronbach, ( r=0.88). Overall, fifty two of the subjects ( 48.2℅) had a positive attitude ( mean score higher than 3), forty seven (43.5℅) had a negative attitude ( mean score lower then 3) and nine (8.3℅) were indifferent toward educating patients. Although the majority of nurses considered teaching patients an important task, most of them (72℅) regarded this duty as special task to be done by physicians.
