Background: Over the past years; major advancements have been made in the field of egg, sperm, and embryo cryopreservation, it is critical to use the new methods of educational resources that improve women's knowledge, attitude, and practice.
The Aim: Evaluate the effectiveness of social media platforms based nursing education regarding cryopreservation on knowledge, attitude, and practice among women having cancer.
Methods: to conduct the study a quasi-experimental design pre-posttest was used.
Setting: The study was applied in the outpatient clinic at Sohag Oncology Institution.
Sample: 100 women with cancer were included, and a non-probability purposive sample was used.
Tools: Four tools were used for Data collection: (I) personal data, (II) knowledge assessment sheet (Pre - Post assessment), (III) attitude scale (Pre - Post assessment), and (IV) reported practice assessment sheet (Pre - Post assessment).
Results: a highly statistically significant difference between knowledge, attitude, and reported practice scores pre and post-social media platforms education.
Conclusion: social media platform based nursing education has a positive effect on improving knowledge, attitude, and practice among women having cancer post-education as compared to before. Recommendations: Integrating social media platforms based nursing education for teaching as an innovative technology method of guidance in the routine care of women having cancer. The present study can be replicated on a large sample to generalize results.
