Only 7 nurses went for intensive care course and had knowledge on ICU Outreach Services. No relationship seen between years of employment and level of nursing education to ICU Outreach Services (p>0.05) awareness. Three themes emerged from interviews: ICU outreach services benefit, ICU readmission, and readiness for outreach services.
