ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to detect the direct cause which lead to complications in comatose patients as well as to construct an instructional nursing intervention plan in order to prevent complications following coma. The results indicated that the highest effect which is most leading to coma complications is the long period of hospital stay [multiple r = 0.3829] followed by old age [multiple r = 0.0906, X = 57.9 + 17.3] and nurses performance [multiple r = 0.0640, 81% were scored as unsatisfactory, 14% need more practice and 5% satisfactory]. The study concluded that there is a positive statistical significant correlation between complication and hospital stay and patients' age. While nurses performance was negatively correlated with the prevalence of complications and low nurse-patient ratio
