The delirium assessment performance of ICU nurses using ICDSC was evaluated, followed by a three\u2010month multimodal educational intervention aimed at improving assessment performance. Each nurse's ICDSC assessment was paired with an independent assessment by a trained expert nurse. To ensure representation that reflects the true performance level, accounting for variations in nurses' working shifts, weekday and weekend staff ratios and sampling fairness across the three MICU units, the pairings were made using a three\u2010step randomization process, managed by an independent third party. A 3\u2010month multimodal educational intervention, including didactic lectures, difficult scenario reviews and one\u2010to\u2010one bedside mentoring, was implemented afterward. Inter\u2010rater agreement before and after the intervention was assessed using Cohen's kappa and Gwet's AC1 statistics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The baseline agreement between ICU nurses and the expert nurse was suboptimal (kappa\u2009=\u20090.63, 95% CI: 0.57\u20130.70). The multimodal educational intervention was well\u2010received by the units, particularly among new nurses. Following the intervention, kappa significantly improved to 0.74 (95% CI: 0.69\u20130.80). Notable improvements were observed in key items of ICDSC, including the assessment of altered level of consciousness, inattention, disorientation, psychomotor agitation or retardation, and sleep\u2013wake cycle disturbances. However, agreement remained poor for certain patient populations, especially those aged over 85\u2009years and those subjected to physical restraint.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A structured, multimodal educational intervention significantly improved the delirium assessment performance of ICU nurses using the ICDSC. One\u2010to\u2010one coaching and scenario\u2010based learning were particularly effective in enhancing clinical assessment skills. However, additional strategies may be required to address persistent challenges in assessing very elderly patients and those subjected to physical restraint.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Relevance to Clinical Practice<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A structured, multimodal educational intervention can substantially enhance the performance of ICU nurses in delirium screening using the ICDSC.
