Results:

The overall mean score of professional nursing shared governance was increased significantly from 3.12 ± 2.54 to 5.86 ± 0.35 (t 7.493, p < 0.001).
Conclusions:
This research plugs the Arabian nursing literature gap by representing how effective professional nursing shared governance awareness sessions could improve the nurse managers' level of knowledge regarding the governance concept and its practices. Participants perceived the awareness sessions as constructive and strategic contrivances to determine and evolve high-potential personnel in opportunities as giving compassionate organizational structures and effective leadership behaviors for aggregating contribution of nurses in work enterprise, problem-solving, conflict resolution, teams and organizational decision-making as "crucial components to an efficacious organization".
