Myasthenia gravis is a chronic neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the voluntary muscles to assess the effect of nursing intervention on activities of daily living and quality of life for myasthenia gravis patients receiving plasma exchange therapy. Research design: Qazi experimental research design (pre - posttest only one group) was utilized in this study. Sample: 40 patients with a diagnosis of Myasthenia gravis receiving plasma exchange therapy. Tool I Patient Interviewing Questionnaire. Tool II Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living. Tool III Myasthenia Gravis Quality of Life-15 Revised (mythania gravis -quality of life 15r). More than one third of patients their age ranged between 30 and 40 years old and all patients (100%) reported weakness of both sides and had upper respiratory tract infection. The nursing intervention significantly improves patient's activities of daily living and quality of life for mythania gravis patients receiving plasma exchange therapy. An in -service nursing intervention for caring patients with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) receiving plasma exchange therapy is essential to ensure they maintain up - to -date improvements of activities of daily living and quality of life in managing chronic neuromuscular disorder.
