This methodologicalstudy involved 48 experts for validation of the manual, which was developed by the researcher based on assessment findings. The data collection tools included an opinionnaire for jury.  The manual was validated through experts' opinions. The manual is valid by high percentages of jury agreement upon its face and content validity, reaching unanimous agreement in many of the items. The study recommends use of the developed manual in ICUs, with close supervision, and a system of rewards and punishment.
