• Intensive Care Nurses' Awareness of the Critically Ill Geriatric Patients' Safety Culture Questionnaire

  This tool will assess the intensive care nurses' awareness of critically ill geriatric patients' safety culture. 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.
