The total sample of this study comprised of nurses serving the hospital from 1 year or more in the general wards. The whole sample consists of total 61 nurses. The nurses was administrated on training needs assessment questionnaire developed by (Hicks & Hennessy, n.d.). This questionnaire helped in achieving the objective and identifying training needs at the individual, team, group or organizational levels, inform educational and training packages at the individual, group or organizational levels, evaluate educational outcomes, customize training to meet local needs, aid priority setting, and inform policy development.

Majority of staff nurses are novice nurses having a work experience of 1-2 years. In addition, most of the nurses have attended work related trainings. On training importance as well as training performance, the nurses have perceived that all subordinates to be important, communication/ teamwork is the perceived most important while the perceived least is research. The study revealed that in all sub-ordinates, such as research, communication/ teamwork, clinical task, administration and management/ supervisory, nurses do not need further training in general, though the weakness was observed on indicators for research. The profile of the nurses showed no significance in their performance of different tasks from the five domains. With this, the profile description of the nurses in the different nursing services and length of service had high regarded as most of them had a description of strong agreements among the statements on the domain for training importance and performance.
