Nurses being the frontline workers who work round the clock and evaluate patients condition and interpret improvement, they should master the skill of nursing assessment so that they can provide a comprehensive care to the patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the Effectiveness of Capacity Building Program regarding the use of Assessment Scales for critically ill patients in terms of Practice of Nurses.Pre-Experimental study using One Group Pre-test Post-test design was conducted. Total enumeration sampling technique was used to enroll 36 Nurses who directly involved in patient care in the Liver Coma ICU, ILBS. An Observation Checklist was prepared to assess the Practice of Nurses regarding Assessment Scales(Glasgow Coma Scale, Pupil Reaction Scale and Modified Ramsay Sedation Scale). The Mean Post-test (18.83?2.11) Practice Scores were higher than the Mean Pre-test (9.36?2.07) Practice Scores and it was highly significant at p<0.001.The study concluded that the Capacity Building Program was effective in improving the Practice of Nurses regarding the use of Assessment Scales for critically ill patients. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a need to provide education regarding the use of Assessment Scales for critically ill patients after regular intervals.
