The researchers will prepare the proposed nurses' training package program. The program will be planned to be carried out in 10 sessions that will be classified into; sessions regarding knowledge about the age-related changes affecting elderly patients that should be considered while caring for them and how to care for and maintain the safety of the critically ill geriatric patients.

It will include items that will be categorized into four subscales namely, intensive care nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practices of caring for critically ill geriatric patients and the critical care unit work environment. The nurses have to respond to the items using a 3-point Likert scale. The total score of the items will be summed and higher scores will indicate greater nurses' awareness of critically ill geriatric patients' safety culture. | 2 weeks |
