Design: The research design used was quasi-experimental. Setting: All ICUs and emergency units at Aswan University Hospital. Subject: The study covered 40 nurses who are currently working in the ICU and Two groups of 30 patients each were formed from 60 patients. Tools: Three tools were utilized for collecting data.
