In the pre education state the mean point of all nurses' attitude for rehabilition was 59, but in the post education state that was 90. The difference between pre and post attitude is very significant(t=-14.1. p<0.0001l). 2. In the pre education state the mean point of all nurses' knowledge for rehabilition was 45, but in the post education state that was 78. The difference between pre and post knowledge is very significant(t=-12.7, p<0.000l). 3. In the pre education state the mean point of all nurses' practice for rehabilition care was 37, but in the post education state that was 62. The difference between pre and post practice is very significant(t=-7.3, p<0.000l). 4. In practice point, the two group nurses who have been educated continuously were superior to the other(t=-3.9. p<0.00l). 5. All points between the urban and rural nurses were no significant differences(p>0.l). 6.
