Results: there was positive statistically significant correlation regarding total score level of knowledge of studied adolescents with multiple sclerosis disease and their total score level quality of life scores pre and post nursing intervention.
Conclusion: the majority of studied adolescents had unsatisfactory knowledge in pre nursing intervention meanwhile the most of them had satisfactory knowledge in post nursing intervention.
