Problem Statement: The challenge of recognizing the ward-based patient at risk of deterioration is discussed frequently within the literature. As their role enables them to be in constant contact with patients, nurses are in a prime position to identify problems at an early stage with the use of systematic patient assessment. Appropriate treatment can be initiated quickly, potentially saving the patient's life (Allen, 2004).

Objective: This study is to examine nurses’ knowledge, attitude and perception on the risk of deterioration among critically ill patients in general wards, determine the assessment required used to detect deterioration of condition, identify their nursing intervention the have provided should there is sign/symptom of risk or deterioration, distinguish the needs of Critical care services required in the general ward to assist them and understand the nurses’ experience in caring for critically ill patients’ with deteriorated condition.Methdology: This is a mixed method study whereby self- administered survey, document analysis and individual interviews will be used to collect the data from nurses in Medical and Surgical wards at tertiary hospital in each state, in East Coast Malaysia.
