Abstract
Objective: To determine the interventional program effectiveness on nurses' practices concerning safety of home movement and ambulation for orthopedic patients treated by internal fixation devices.
Methodology: This quantitative pre-experimental study was conducted from 1st of April to 15th of December, 2022 in south of Iraq. A non-probability, purposive sample of 30 nurses was selected. Nurses’ practice was assessed before and after an interventional program. SPSS 23 were used to analyze and assess results of study.
Results: Out of 30 participants, 23 (76.7%) were nursing institute graduates. More than 50% had 1 to 5 years’ experience in orthopedic wards. Statistically, there were highly significant differences between pretest and posttest in all items for nurses' practices related to safety home movement and ambulation.
Conclusion: Level of nursing practices in pretest was very poor. Interventional program had positive effect on nurses’ practices.

Key words: Nurses' practices, movement, ambulation, orthopedic patients, internal fixation.
