Introduction: Effective communication is a keystone of the nurse patient relationship. Communicating with comatose patients is always challenging for healthcare professionals. In order to provide quality nursing care, we need to communicate with patients whether conscious or unconscious. This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of training program on knowledge and practice of nurses working in ICUs regarding Individualized Communication Protocol with comatose patients. Methods: A quantitative pre-experimental research approach was used with one group Pre-Test- Post-Test-only Design. Total enumeration sampling technique was used to select 171 Staff Nurses from the selected ICUs. A structured questionnaire containing knowledge and skill items were used to assess knowledge and practice related to communication. Result revealed that there was significant improvement in knowledge post test score (20.09±3.21) after intervention as compared to pretest scores (13.23±2.96 with p-value of 0.0001. Data also represented significant improvement in practice posttest score (30.96±4.46) as compared to pretest score (6.75±1.57) with p-value of 0.0001. Discussion: Study revealed that teaching programme was effective in improving nurse’s knowledge and practice regarding Individualized Communication Protocol. Results strongly recommend for regular training sessions for health care professionals which help them to improve communication by enabling them to enhance their practice.
