Subject: A convenient subjects of all available nurses (N=60).
Setting: The study was carried out at general intensive care unit in Al-sheikh Zayed general and specialized hospital, at 6 October City in Giza Governorate.

(II) Physical restraint observational checklist. (III) Factors affecting nurses' performance regarding use of physical restraint.
Results: The study showed, two-thirds (60%) of the studied nurses had a poor level of knowledge, nearly three quarters (73.3%) of the studied nurses had a poor level of practice regarding physical restraint; and there was a highly statistically positive correlation between total of physical restraints knowledge and practice among the studied nurses.
Conclusion: The present study concluded that two-thirds of the studied nurses had an unsatisfactory level of general knowledge regarding physical restraint.
